In his interpretation series... for Today" Nicholas Thomas Wright (N. T. Wright) retells the biblical texts in a new way - a "Bible Commentary 2.0". He not only opens our eyes to many previously undiscovered backgrounds and contexts, 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 in captivity are explained: The Epistle to the Ephesians, the Epistle to the Philippians, the Epistle to the Colossians and Philemon. The personal circumstances of Paul's life give a special depth to these New Testament letters - the letters bear witness to a man who was in great need and difficulty, and they show how, despite everything, his faith and hope were not damaged. All the more impressive is what he had to say to his young congregations - or in the case of Philemon.
