From the Paper:

" In many ways this book is a disappointment due to its almost obsessive attempts to promote what are obviously personal and passionate views on American governance, which the authors perceive as being similar to decadent Rome - and, in many ways this perception is correct. However, Colossians Remixed, although containing material that gives an electrical charge on the thematic level, is not a textual commentary for the exegetical preacher; it is a book that is intended to encourage and challenge modern Christians to evaluate present empirical attitudes within North America, through a fresh and revitalising way of reading and understanding Paul's message to the Colossian church. When read within such a spirit, Colossians Remixed is not only a challenging and thought-provoking book, but it is also a book that sheds light on the current trends within modern society that oppose the biblical concept of the way in which humans should live."
