Colossians

Christ, Creation and the Church in the Colossian Hymn (Colossians 1:15-20)

20 June 2014 By Robert Atkin Leave a Comment

The Letter of Paul to the Colossians contains six verses which form a hymn or poem in praise of Christ. This Christ Hymn is a densely packed statement of Paul’s Christological monotheism. Christ is exalted as sovereign over creation, the church and new creation. The letter was written in response to the false philosophy that the church in Colossae was in danger of following.
