A Good Resource for Expositors

As with the rest of MacArthur's commentaries this volume publishes his sermons from the text. This expositional commentary proves to be helpful in prepartion

Great Bible-Based Expository Commentary

MacArthur provides thorough Scriptural commentary throughout this book. He starts by providing a thorough background about the book of Colossians and Philemon. This includes information about the author, the city of Colossae, the church at Colossae, and the situations that were occurring there at the time. MacArthur also provides the same for Philemon. MacArthur's commentaries are mainly expository. Meaning, he takes scripture and explains it with other scripture. He does digress into other scripture or theological topics at times, but I believe he does this so anyone reading this commentary would be able to understand the other scriptural passages that he references. I would highly recommend The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series to anyone looking for an in-depth Biblical explanation of Scripture.

Good book for SS class or small study group.

Highly recommended for a small Bible study group or a SS class. We are using the book for a SS class of 30 people and the questions presented for the reader hit home on each lesson.

In Depth

John Macarthur is always on top of scripture...this study is very good and very detailed - He covers every nook and cranny and is very reliable. I highly suggest busying this study if you want to do a study on Colossians!

THE BEST!

THE BEST. Excellent. I highly recommend. As with all of Dr. John Macarthur's works, this is packed with life changing Biblical TRUTHS, wisdom and sound doctrine.
