What is the gospel of the colossians?

Answer 1

Maybe you mean the letter to the Colossians. Colossians is a book in the New Testament of The Bible it is a letter written by Paul to the church at Colosse. It was probably written while Paul was imprisoned in Rome around AD60.

The purpose of the letter was to combat false teaching in the church at Colosse and to show that believers have everything they need in Christ.

Paul had never been to Colosse the church was established by Epaphras.

Answer 2

A:The Letter to the Colossians is called a pseudo-Pauline epistle because it was written in Paul's name after his death. Burton L Mack (Who Wrote the New Testament) says the Epistle to the Colossians, written sometime during the 70s, used the authority of Paul to address a sectarian conflict that had arisen in Asia Minor.

Answer 3

When Paul wrote his letter he had never seen the church at Colossi. It is believed that the church was established by Epaphras - Col 1:7.

Chapters 1, 2 -- The preeminence of Christ.

Chapters 3,4 -- The believers duty to the preeminence of Christ
