Like other volumes in the Tyndale Series, Wright's commentary is a good, concise, mid-level commentary. Wright makes his case for his understanding of the text, occasion for Paul's writing (and that Paul wrote it), and the context to who Paul was writing to. But in this volume (as with the whole series) Wright is concerned with presenting his reading of the text more than a detailed account of the scholarship underpinning it. In a number of places he refers readers to more techinical treatments of Colossians (i.e. O'Brien, Moule, Caird).

I would agree with other reviewers that this commentary is not Wright at his most brilliant, but I think he does a phenomenal job of presenting a reading of Colossians which is compelling and well informed. Is this the best commentary on Colossians? No, but for a simple, concise but well informed look at the Colossian epistle, this is perhaps my go-to commentary. O'Brien and Louse (Word and Hermenia) are where I go if I want a more detailed treatment than what Wright has here, though I have not worked through those commentaries as closely, so cannot comment on their overall understanding of the Colossian correspondence.

Long before the massive Christian Origins and the Question of God, long before "The Right Reverend Father in God, by Divine Providence Lord Bishop of Durham", we had N. T. Wright, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey. While some the later themes of Wright's theology are not fully developed by the time he penned this commentary, his lucid way of writing along with his detail-oriented exegetical style makes this an excellent guide to two of Paul's letters.

Wright's goal in this small commentary is twofold:

1. "To clear up potential ambiguities or obscurities, so that the reader is able to hear, as nearly as possible, what the text itself says" (10).
2. "To open the reader's eyes to see the text, and those parts of Paul's thought which it reflects, as a whole, over and above the mass of detail" (10).

He accomplishes both of these goals in a small sub-two-hundred page package.

About a year ago, I preached through the entire book of Colossians, and this commentary was a tremendous help. Anyone who is serious about reading scripture can enjoy this book—no special training required. ( )

With you is Wisdom, she who knows your works,
she who was present when you made the world;
she understands what is pleasing in your eyes
and what agrees with your commandments . . .

She will guide me prudently in my undertakings
and protect me by her glory.
Then all I do will be acceptable,
I shall govern your people justly
and shall be worthy of my father's throne.
Wisdom 9:9, 11-12 (Jerusalem Bible)
O loving Wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
A second Adam to the fight
And to the rescue came.
John Henry Newman, The Dream of Gerontius
If anyone is in Christ — new creation!
The old is gone, the new has come . . .
God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself.
2 Corinthians 5:17, 19 (author's own translation)
