The Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon (New International Greek Testament Commentary (NIGTC))
(Part of the New International Greek Testament Commentary Series)
In this volume in the celebrated New International Greek Testament Commentary series, James D. G. Dunn, author of numerous well-received works on the historical origin and theological interpretation of the New Testament, provides detailed expositions of the text of Paul's letters to the Colossians and to Philemon. Dunn examines each of these letters within the context of the Jewish and Hellenistic cultures in the first century, and he discusses the place of Colossians and Philemon in the relationship between the Pauline mission and the early churches that received these letters. He places particular stress on the role of faith in Jesus Christ within and over against Judaism and on the counsel of these two important letters with regard to the shaping of human relationships in the community of faith.

I love this commentary series. It deals with the grammar and language of the text. I find that by using these commentaries it helps me keep my Greek skills sharpened. Many conservative evangelicals have theological problems with Dunn (He is a New Perspective guy), but I like having commentaries that challenge me. Even though I don't agree with Dunn on his theology, he is still a world class scholar.
