This specialized handbook serves as an essential resource for anyone engaged in translating Paul's profound letters to the Colossians and Philemon. Robert G. Bratcher focuses specifically on the exegetical challenges that translators encounter when working with these pivotal New Testament texts, offering practical solutions for navigating complex linguistic and cultural barriers.

For those seeking to understand these apostolic letters more deeply, whether through translation work or serious study, this resource illuminates the careful attention required to preserve Paul's original message. The author assumes readers have access to general theological resources elsewhere, allowing him to focus entirely on the specific challenges of rendering these ancient texts into contemporary language.
