Inductive Bible Study Helps Readers Understand Colossians and Philemon

While confined to house arrest, the apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Colossian church and to the man who hosted the church in his house. Paul’s words brought clarity to confusion, hope where there was fear, and called for unity amid this especially diverse congregation. His letters were not only reminders for them, but also for modern readers in the Church today, of the eternal impact of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.  

This addition to the Meet Me in the Bible series presents a practical 5-step framework for examining the epistles of Colossians and Philemon. Ideal for personal use and groups at any level, this inductive study helps readers observe and interpret Scripture and apply it to everyday life. Each chapter explores a section of the biblical text, expounding themes including the fruit of the gospel, the heart of the gospel, what to put off and what to put on as a Christian, and the unity that the gospel brings.
