Philippians is a coherent whole, written while under house arrest to a motley crew of new believers in need of Paul's unique brew of tenacity and joy. It hums with hard-won optimism and weather-tested faith.

Colossians is often lost among the greater lights of New Testament epistles. It's relegated to the status of a biblical also-ran. Yet from its moments of crescendoing Christology to its insights into human psychology, it is the gift that never stops giving and the treasure that never ceases to gleam.
