Colossians: An Earth Bible Commentary: An Eco-Stoic Reading
Balabanski, Vicky
Colossians: An Earth Bible Commentary: An Eco-Stoic Reading - London T&T Clark 2020 - 202p - Earth Bible Commentary Series .
"This commentary analyses Colossians as a co-authored letter, written during Paul's Roman imprisonment by Timothy with the input of Epaphras, and sent with Paul's introductory and concluding greetings. Balabanski draws particularly on Stoic thought, arguing that this is crucial to understanding the letter. Balabanski sees the gospel as having been welcomed in Colossae by groups shaped by Stoic thought, who experienced Christ as the visible expression of the One God who permeates reality. This theology of divine permeation invites us to notice the ecological potential of this letter"--
