deeper into colossians

As we read through Paul's letter to the Colossians, here are a few commentaries I'd highly recommend if you want to dig in...

a little deeper:
N.T. Wright's very short, very readable, and very practical commentary on Paul's letters: http://www.amazon.com/Paul-Everyone-Ephesians-Philippians-Colossians/dp/0664227880/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226946677&sr=8-9

deeper:
N.T. Wright's classic and more thorough commentary on just Colossians and Philemon: http://www.amazon.com/Epistles-Colossians-Philemon-Testament-Commentaries/dp/0830829911/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_b

real deep:

Walsh and Keesmaat's intriguing look at Colossians from a unique and insightful counter-cultural perspective: http://www.amazon.com/Colossians-Remixed-Subverting-Brian-Walsh/dp/0830827382/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1226947234&sr=8-1
