"Beale is a first-rate New Testament scholar with proven expertise in the use of the Old Testament in the New Testament and biblical theology. Hence, it is not surprising that this fresh and readable commentary on Colossians and Philemon is marked not only by impressive erudition and judicious judgment on complex issues but also by extraordinary theological depth. It breaks new ground, especially in the area of the biblical and Jewish roots of Paul's teaching in Colossians. Highly recommended for scholars and students as well as pastors and teachers." Brian S. Rosner, principal, Ridley College, Australia
