The developed theology of the letter, many believe, indicates that it was either composed by Paul in Rome about 62 ce, rather than during an earlier imprisonment, or by one of his disciples.
Why was the letter to the Colossians written?
Why study this book? Paul wrote his Epistle to the Colossians because of a report that they were falling into serious error (see Bible Dictionary, “Pauline Epistles”). False teachings and practices in Colossae were influencing the Saints there and threatening their faith.
When were Philemon and Colossians written?
The Epistle to Philemon was composed around 57-62 A.D by Paul while in prison at Caesarea Maritima (early date) or more likely from Rome (later date) in conjunction with the composition of Colossians.
