The Epistle of Paul to the Colossians and Philemon: an Introduction and Commentary (Tyndale New Testament Commentaries) af Herbert M. Carson.
Meget anderkendt og anvendte kommentar til Filipperbrevet. Evangelikal. Hardback. Fra The Tynedale Press i 1966, (blev senere genudgivet af IVP). Bemærk: Alle de kommentarer jeg lægger ud har fået den højeste ros i diverse teologiske journaler og af de førende evangelikale pastorer i USA og England. De kommentarer jeg lægger ud her er faktisk gode inden for deres felt. Fra røgfrit hjem.

Om værket:
Four years before seceding from the Anglican Church, Herbert M. Carson penned this little 112-page commentary for the Tyndale NT Commentary series. The late Dr. Carson spares no passion in this short volume. The warmth of the practicality and the depth of the exegesis intertwine to form a wonderful and helpful book on the epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon. Overall, the reader will leave the volume with a deep appreciation for the epistles in question and the quality of the commentator.
The work is truly a commentary and it proves valuable as such and is not merely an expanded translation. The extremely readable work spans 112 pages. 10 pages of preface, 15 for the introductions to Colossians and Philemon, 29 pages for Colossians chapter 1, 24 pages for chapter 2, 16 pages cover the third chapter, 8 pages for chapter 4, and 10 pages discuss the letter to Philemon. The viewpoint of the commentator is consistently conservative and his exegesis is carefully articulated. The reader will be surprised to find in a volume as short as this, very helpful and insightful comments on logical structure of the verse(s) in question, translation challenges presented, interpretational difficulties analyzed, and other exegetical hurdles cleared. In other words, don't let the brevity of the volume fool you - Carson's commentary is valuable to the layman, pastor, and scholar alike.
Nothing demonstrates the value of a commentary more in the reviewer's mind than the writer's decisions on interpretational difficulties. Authorship by the Apostle Paul is supported (12-15) and the Colossian heresy received one of its more balanced treatments (15-18). Carson argues that the saints and faithful brothers are 1 group (28), hope is the source of faith and love (31), "heard before" in 1:5 refers to the time before the false teachers came to Colossae (32), "love in the spirit" is a reference to the Holy Spirit (34), "walk" in 1:10 is a infinitive of purpose (36), connects joy (1:11/12) with patience and longsuffering (38), avoids speculation on the source or imagery of the "Christ hymn," the proper meaning of "firstborn" in 1:15 is not contrary to Christian theology, the authority terms in 1:16 are angelic in reference, "before all things" (1:17) refers both to time and rank (43), the fullness is God's deity and presents an excellent argument for the deity of Christ (45), the presentation in 1:22 is in the future (48), the proper interpretation of 1:24 sharply differs from that of Roman Catholic theologians and that the "lacking" sufferings refer to Christ suffering in Paul (51), and "Christ in you" (1:27) refers to the Gentiles.
In chapter 2 of Colossians, the writer points out that "bodily" (Gk. somatikos) is strictly a physical reference, and not a reference to "actuality" (64), the prepositional phrase in verse 12 (Gk. en to) is best translated "in which" as a reference to baptism (67), "dead in your sins" refers to a sphere rather than a cause (68), "in Him" is a better translation than "in it" in verse 15 (72), and the challenges of the structure of verse 23 (78-79).
The commentator shows in chapter 3 that "greed/covetousness" in verse 5 is likely sexual, the "wrath of God" (v. 6) is likely an everyday outpouring rather than an eschatological one (82), the "bond" in verse 14 is the bond of the previous virtues (88), the "peace of Christ (v. 15) is a subjective genitive (88), both the subjective and objective interpretations of "word of Christ" in verse 16 would lead to the same conclusion (90), the issue of slavery in the books of Colossians and Philemon is no small challenge, but leads to big apologetic conclusions (21-24, 93), the phrase "in the Lord" is best taken as locative (92), and verse 25 applies to slaves only (95).
In chapter 4, Carson argues that the "open door" is more one of empowerment than of physical (i.e. prison) limitations (96), "grace" in verse 6 is divine grace (97), "fellow prisoner" (v. 10) is figurative (99), the phrase "will of God" modifies the word "fulfilled/fully-assured" while also arguing for the former of those two translations (100), and the Epistle to the Laodiceans is what we know today as the Book of Ephesians (101-102).
These strong qualities of the work make it extremely valuable to the student of the epistle to the Colossians
The writer's brevity on matters of clarity and depth on matters of difficulty makes this work of particular value to the student of the Book of Colossians who must, in one day, gain a (yes) deep overview of the epistle. The balanced approach to textual variants (e.g. 74) and extensive discussions of appropriate topics (e.g. slavery 21-24) makes this commentary a "must-have" for every student of Colossians.
Specific to Colossians, Herbert M. Carson's commentary is superb: his little 112 page commentary is written with scholarly precision, pastoral wisdom, and welcome clarity. The four chapters of Colossians pose some thorny issues which Carson handles beautifully. It was a pleasure to read.

Om serien:
These commentaries are designed to help the reader of the Bible understand what the text says and what it means. The Introduction to each book gives a concise but thorough treatment of its authorship, date, original setting and purpose. Following a structural Analysis, the Commentary takes the book section by section, drawing out its main themes, and also comments on individual verses and problems of interpretation. Additional Notes provide fuller discussion of particular difficulties. The goal throughout is to explain the true meaning of the Bible and make its message plain.
Anmeldelser:
"The Tyndale volumes have long been the premier shorter-length commentary series on both Testaments throughout the English-speaking world."
- Craig Blomberg, Denver Seminary -
"Tyndale commentaries are always useful, not least because they focus so clearly on the text of Scripture, and do not fall into the trap of paying too much attention to other commentaries and not enough to the scriptural text they are intended to expound and explain. So they retain their usefulness for preachers, Bible study leaders and for all readers of the Bible."
- Peter Adam, principal, Ridley College, Melbourne, Australia -
"Within its constraints, this series includes some outstanding volumes."
- D. A. Carson, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School -
"There simply is no series of medium-length commentaries that approaches the excellence of the Tyndale commentaries."
- Donald A. Hagner, Fuller Theological Seminary -
"The evenness and quality of this series are remarkable."
- Christianity Today -
