Books Descriptions
Fullness and freedom--two aspects of Christian life that we all
want to share. Paul wrote about them at length (and depth) in
his letter to the Christians at Colossae, where certain new
teachers were proclaiming that "mere Christianity" is not
enough. There is, they suggested, a fuller experience, a
greater liberation, than they had so far enjoyed. But Paul was
adamant: all God's fullness is in Christ alone, and only
through his complete work are we set free. These are the great
objective truths of the faith that Dick Lucas highlights in his
exposition, enabling us to see both the riches that are ours in
Christ and the irrelevance--even blasphemy--of all would-be
improvements on what God has done.
