Köp båda 2 för 559 kr"a gripping, powerful and penetrating interpretation of colossians for the third millennium! based on responsible scholarship, enlivened by a discerning imagination and fired by commitment to paul's gospel, this reading of colossians by walsh and keesmaat is an outstanding contribution to the church's task of conceiving christ rather than global consumerism as sovereign in our world. at the same time, it is a provocative stimulus to the church's mission of living out that alternative sovereignty in a community of compassion resistant to the forces of coercion from within and without."
andrew t. lincoln, portland professor of new testament, university of gloucestershire
"walsh and keesmaat expertly bring the ancient world of colossians and the contemporary world of north america crashing together, and the result is dynamite. rich, provocative readings of scripture combine with penetrating, trenchant analysis of culture. insights from a plethora of sources (exegetes, philosophers, musicians) are expressed in a readable, conversational style. a culturally subversive ethic is persuasively put forward for christ-followers in our age of empire. not exactly a commentary, this book is much better. Colossians Remixed is an explosive tract for our times. Take up and read."
steven bouma-prediger, jacobson professor of religion, hope college
