NJB Philippians, Colossians and Philemon

The Holy Bible is one of, if not the, most significant book ever written, believed by millions to be the divine Word of God, & responsible for so much of the shape of the modern moral, political & religious landscape of the modern world. It claims to speak directly & personally to all of us today. DLT Books of the Bible are designed to reignite a passion for reading the Bible. A selection of Christian writers & leaders have each been invited to choose a book (or selection of books), & introduce it anew for a modern audience. What most excites them about this book of the Bible? What should we look for as we read it today, two thousand years (or more) since it was written? In this volume, theologian & spiritual director Ruth Etchells introduces the Books of Phillipians, Colossians & Philemon, three of Paul's later letters, & explains her belief that they hold at their heart God's 'Grand Design'.
