Exalting Jesus in Colossians & Philemon

Book excerpt: Exalting Jesus in Colossians and Philemon is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series, to include 47 volumes when complete, takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Rather than a verse-by-verse approach, the authors have crafted chapters that explain and apply key passages in their assigned Bible books. Readers will learn to see Christ in all aspects of Scripture, and they will be encouraged by the devotional nature of each exposition presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect and Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy reading, practical, and friendly commentary. The Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series will include 47 volumes when complete. The authors of Exalting Jesus in Colossians and Philemon are Daniel Akin and R. Scott Pace.
