RT Book T1 Heavenly perspective: a study of the apostle Paul's response to a Jewish mystical movement at Colossae T2 Library of New Testament studies T2 The Library of New Testament Studies A1 Smith, Ian K. LA English PP London New York PB T & T Clark YR 2006 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/687361907 AB This book identifies the source of the Colossian error as from within Jewish mystical movements and shows how both the theology and practice which is taught in the epistle is to be understood from this context. 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 NO Includes bibliographical references and indexes CN BS2715.52 SN 0567031071 SN 9780567031075 K1 Bible : N.T : Colossians : Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Mysticism : Judaism : History K1 Bible. -- N.T. -- Colossians -- Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Mysticism -- Judaism -- History K1 Bible ; N.T ; Colossians ; Criticism, interpretation, etc K1 Mysticism ; Judaism ; History K1 Electronic books
