Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Epistles to the Colossians, Thessalonians, and Timothy The Time, Place, and Occasion of Writing. There are in this Epistle indications of the time and place of writing similar to those already noticed in the Epistles to the Ephesians and Philippians. It is written in prison: for St. Paul bids the Colossians remember his bonds (chap. iv.18), and designates Aristarchus as his fellow-prisoner (chap. iv.10). Like the Epistle to the Ephesians, it is sent by Tychicus, with precisely the same official commendation of him as in that Epistle (chap. iv.7, 8 ;comp. Eph. vi.21, 22);but with him is joined Onesimus, the Colossian slave, the bearer of the Epistle to Philemon. The persons named in the concluding salutations (chap. iv.7 14)Aristarchus, Marcus, Epaphras, Luke, Demas, and Jesus, called Justus are all, except the last, named in the corresponding part of the Epistle to Philemon (verses 23, 24) ;two of them, Aristarchus and St. Luke, are known to have accompanied the Apostle on his voyage, as a captive, to Rome (Acts xxvii.2): and another, Tychicus, to have been his companion on the journey to Jerusalem, which preceded the beginning of that captivity at Cajsarea (Acts xx.4). A direction is given to forward this Epistle to Laodicea, and to obtain and read a letter from Laodicea (chap. iv. 16), which (as will be seen by the Note on the passage) is, in all probalility, our Epistle to the Ephesians an Epistle (see the Introduction to it) addressed, indeed, primarily to Ephesus, but apparently also an Encyclical Letter to the sister Churches of Asia. All these indications point to one conclusion not only that the Epistle is one of the Epistles of the Roman captivity (about A.D.61 63), but that it is a twin Epistle with the Epistle to the Ephesians, sent at the same time and by the same hand, and designed to be interchanged with it in the Churches of Colossae and Laodicea. These indications are confirmed most decisively by the substance of the Epistle itself, which (as will be seen below) presents, on the one hand, the most striking similarities to the Epistle to the Ephesians, and, on the other, differences almost equally striking and characteristic thus contradicting all theories of derivation of one from the other, and supporting very strongly the idea of independent contemporaneousness and coincidence of thought.
