It’s been said about the Bible that its truth is like the ocean, deep enough for an elephant to swim in, but safe enough for a child to paddle in. Well, what’s so of Scripture applies also to Bible commentaries like this one from Douglas Moo on Colossians and Philemon.
The elephants in the analogy are the serious students of the New Testament: lecturers, preachers and Bible teachers, who will enjoy wading through the pages of the book to appreciate the sophisticated interaction of the author with the Greek text and with recent scholarship.
