Abstract

[It has already been established in section 1.2 that a substantial number of Jews were residents of the Lycus Valley and some of them were probably a part of the community of new believers. Not knowing exactly what Epaphras reported to the writer, the letter is the main indicator of the concern for specific teachings and the need to warn or inform against possible errors. This chapter serves to identify the audience of the letter and not to affirm any side. In the twentieth century, terms such as “opponents,” “errors,” “false teachers,” and “heresy” have become common when discussing this letter. However, the use of such terms in this book is not an attempt to place blame but only for identification purposes. The letter to the Colossians addresses teachings in the following areas that help to identify a Jewish audience: the Lawcircumcision and traditionsJesus Christ.]
