Colossians Historical Background | Why was Colossians written?

Discover the Book of Colossians in a new way with our animated Bible video! Gain a deeper understanding of Colossians through its historical background, and apply its message to your life and Bible study today. Understanding the culture and historical setting of ancient Colossae, and how their beliefs of mysticism and dualism crept into their faith is essential for studying Colossians, and applying the Apostle Paul’s message. Like the Colossians, we must make sure that the Bible is the lens through which we see our culture, rather than the reverse!

Join us on this journey to better understand the Bible, its history, and its impact on our lives, through understanding both the literary context and historical context. This is an essential part of interpretation in inductive Bible study, and will help you to think biblically and live biblically. Our Bible videos are perfect for all ages and levels of Biblical literacy. Enhance your personal and small group Bible studies with our animated videos.
