Review
Rating: Unrated
A very different sort of commentary, Colossians Remixed is the first of its kind but hopefully not the last. Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmaat (a married duo of scholars) offer a reading of Colossians against the backdrop of empire and postmodernity, weaving story and social critique with biblical exegesis. The end result is an engaging, compelling, and highly readable book. Knowing how these two authors live adds another layer of authority to their work.
