Authorship: Paul with the help of Timothy.
Date: 58-62 A.D.
Audience: The Church in Colosse, where Jewish legalism was a very big issue, to the extent that they wanted to add legal requirements to holding faith. Also, it was written to denounce heresy that had arisen in the church and challenged the existence of the church.
Genre: Letter.
*aha!: Colossians really focuses on the issues occurring in the church there at the time, but the themes of ethics in an individual, a family, and workplace, and that of the important sufficiency of Christ alone, are truly applicable to modern churches.
