The Perfect Letter: Paul's Epistle to the Colossians

by Howard D. Chaney

Overview

The Perfect Letter. A commentary on Paul's Epistle to the Colossians. Scripture is meant to change culture,
not culture to change Scripture. Christian inspiration should be the opposite of worldly motivation by
unbelievers. Sense of understanding, or inspiration is to come from God, not from the world.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Much has been written about the Bible. For the last few decades we've found anti-Christian books at the top of
best-seller lists everywhere. Every spurious view is accepted by some. This includes works published by seemly
respected scholars and authors. Unfortunately, it occurs in a culture where Christianity is supposed to be
the dominant faith. In fact, it has been since the founding of our great country. So, it's ironic that Christian
freedom is the reason for founding many places in Colonial America. Our protected liberties allow books and
papers promoting alternatives to Christianity without retribution. We would not want anything different,
as our freedom and liberties are privileges, and we don't want to ever lose them. some authors assert the Bible
is false and they refuse to admit that opposing opinions have any legitimacy. Such writers are often dogmatic
about their views. They sensationalize or fictionalize anti-Christianity topics only to sell books. This makes
the misinformation more widespread.

As you read The Perfect Letter — open your mind to Scripture and keep a check on your emotions! If you do,
you'll feel challenged, even encouraged, maybe delighted and surprised. The historical viewpoints of Paul's
teachings might trouble you and they might even offend. The intended purpose is to teach the Word of Truth,
and, to show the reality of the gospel. As you learn Scripture and historical perspectives, they'll dispel errant
religious teachings.
