The present volume contains the proceedings of an international conference meant to further the dialogue between New Testament scholars and epigraphists with an interest in NT matters. After the more general approach of a previous conference, it was decided to focus on a particular writing. The Letter to the Colossians, though a relatively short work, was chosen because it contains some very interesting material worthy of study from an epigraphical angle and also offers opportunities to open up towards a broader perspective on Pauline literature. The essays that make up this collection offer insights into the world of the intended addressees, show ways for contextualising epigraphical material, and demonstrate from case studies how this material, in combination with literary and archaeological evidence, can be made to use in interpreting specific concepts or motifs in the letter. Contributors: Lukas Bormann, Alan H. Cadwallader, Thomas Corsten, Ulrich Huttner, Hermut Löhr, Peter M|ller, Markus Öhler, Julien M. Ogereau, Andrej Petrovic, Angela Standhartinger, Joseph Verheyden, Alexander Weiss
