The Epistle to the Colossians: An Expository Outline

Enticing words may easily play upon our ignorance: rationalism may appeal to the intellect, ritualism to the emotions and superstition to the imagination; but none of these things will reveal Christ to the soul, or form Christ in our lives. They do not lead to Christ. To meet all these evils and preserve us from them, the apostle presents Christ. Having received Christ, He is the power for our walk; we have everything in Him; we are identified with Him; we derive all nourishment from Him. Hamilton Smith provides once again a great service in this volume, never before published in book form, in sharing, in his easy-to-read style, the results of his own reading and studying of Colossians in order that another generation can enjoy the practical lessons of this epistle.
