Synopsis
This study goes through Colossians sentence by sentence and argues that it was composed by a student of Paul who made use of all the seven undisputed Pauline letters. The purpose of Colossians is to warn the readers to take heed against persons who are trying to lead them astray (Col 2:6-23). This study shows that the main identifying marks of the persons being opposed by this text include "angelic worship" and visions. In addition, the teachers demand that Christians observe Jewish food rules as well as the observance of holy days. All these characteristics are typical of the apocalyptic strands of Christianity among which the Book of Revelation was written. Therefore, Colossians seems to represent the debate between two different types of early Chistianity occurring in Asia Minor at the end of the first century: Paul's heritage of Christian liberty and an apocalyptic visionary group that observed stricter regulations. The study thus puts forward the seldom presented alternative that the "philosophy" opposed in Colossians should not be regarded as "heretical" but can be found within the New Testament canon.
