Summary
Written by the apostle Paul with the aim of combating the heresy which threatened the faith of its recipients, does the letter to the Colossians still have something to tell us today? The author shows that the Church and believers in general have everything to gain from being interested in its teachings, because the threats, if they have taken other forms, are not very different today. The text remains relevant and current, 2000 years later!
A comment that goes straight to the point.
Pastor, head of France-Mission, member of the council of the Evangelical Federation of France, of the council of La Maison de la Bible France or of the French branch of the Independent Evangelical Mission of Madagascar: Gilbert Presle has, through his various commitments, acquired a particularly keen eye on the situation of Churches and Christian works in the French-speaking world.

1) Who are you? !
The Scripsi editions (“I wrote”, in Latin) are in a way a label of authors: they give pride of place to the pen and the inspiration of writers wishing to transmit a spiritual message to their contemporaries.
2) What is the central theme of this book?
A biblical book: the Letter to the Colossians
3) If you had to highlight one sentence from this book, which one would you choose?
There is no point in accumulating knowledge about God if it is not applied in our lives.
4) What would you like to share with your readers first?
Faith in Christ Jesus was likely to be misunderstood and experienced in the early days of the Church, and this is still the case today. Hence the relevance of the apostolic writings.
