The Book of Colossians is a letter written by the Apostle Paul, likely during his imprisonment in Rome around AD 60–62. Addressed to the church in Colossae, a city in the Lycus Valley of Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), this letter responds to reports of false teachings that were influencing the new Christian community.

Paul’s main emphasis in Colossians is the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus Christ. He presents a majestic picture of Christ as the image of the invisible God and the creator and sustainer of all things. Paul encourages the Colossians to remain rooted in their faith, warning them not to be distracted by human traditions or speculative philosophies.

Key themes include the new life believers have in Christ, the importance of spiritual maturity, and practical instructions for relationships and daily living. Colossians calls readers to set their hearts and minds on Christ, whose death and resurrection have brought true freedom and hope.
