In his series "For Today," Nicholas Thomas Wright (N. T. Wright) reinterprets the biblical texts - a Bible commentary 2.0. He not only opens our eyes to many previously undiscovered backgrounds and connections but, above all, to how we can follow Jesus today. In this volume of the "For Today" series, the four short letters that Paul wrote during his imprisonment are explained: the Letter to the Ephesians, the Letter to the Philippians, the Letter to the Colossians, and the Letter to Philemon. Paul's personal life circumstances give these New Testament letters a unique depth - they testify to a man who faced great distress and difficulties, and they show how, despite everything, his faith and hope remained intact. This makes what he had to say to his young congregations all the more striking - particularly in the case of Philemon.
