The book of Colossians is one of the Apostle Paul’s prison epistles, written while he was imprisoned in Rome. It was addressed to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ at Colosse, a city in Asia Minor. The central theme of the letter is the preeminence and sufficiency of Christ in all things. Paul writes to correct false teachings that threatened the church, particularly those involving human philosophy, legalism, and the worship of angels. Throughout the letter, Paul emphasizes that believers are complete in Christ, who is the head of all principality and power.
