Colossians and Philemon for Everyone (NT for Everyone: Bible Study Guide)

A series of short question-based study guides based around the New Testament For Everyone series. The series is intended to encourage church (and other) groups to study the Bible using the For Everyone model. Experienced Bible study writers have selected excerpts and written questions that guide users through the thought of Tom Wright on each passage. These have been reviewed edited and approved by Tom Wright. Creation is in anguish. Pauls letter to the Romans as well as the merest glance at our world shows this clearly. The Church shares in the suffering groaning in the tension between the already of possessing the fruit of the Spirit and the not yet of our present existence. Paul however also makes it abundantly clear that God doesnt stand apart from the pain. Rather he entered it through Jesus and dwells in the middle of it in the Spirit. These studies present the whole picture of a suffering sinful world and Gods deep love still working today to reconcile that world to himself.
