The book gives a helpful overview of scholarship that has attempted to identify the nature and source of the Colossian error. The book, unlike many others on the topic, is exegetically driven, and will model thorough and careful exegetical practice. The book interacts with extra-Biblical texts which help the reader to understand the mystical contexts of first century Judaism.Library of New Testament studies ;326.MysticismJudaismHistoryElectronic books.MysticismJudaismHistory.227.706227/.706Smith Ian K890053MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461210103321Heavenly perspective1988501UNINA
