L'"Épître aux Colossiens" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Selon la tradition chrétienne, cette lettre fut envoyée par l'apôtre Paul à l'Église de Colosses. La ville de Colosses a été détruite par un tremblement de terre au début de l'an 60. C'est une lettre écrite aux Colossiens après la visite d'Épaphras, évangélisateur de l'Église de Colosses. Épaphras dit à Paul que les Colossiens tombaient dans une grave erreur : ils pensaient qu'ils étaient meilleurs que les autres parce qu'ils observaient soigneusement certaines ordonnances extérieures.

La "1ère épître à Timothée" est un livre du Nouveau Testament. Avec la deuxième épître à Timothée et l'épître à Tite, elle fait partie des trois "épîtres pastorales" ou "trito-pauliniennes", dues à des disciples tardifs de l'apôtre Paul. Paul avait laissé Timothée à Éphèse, dans l'intention d'y retourner plus tard. Mais il pensait qu'il risquait d'être retardé. La lettre est adressée au disciple Timothée, peut-être de Macédoine, pour lui donner des conseils et des encouragements sur l'accomplissement de son ministère.

L'épître est envoyée par l'apôtre Paul, depuis la ville de Corinthe, à l'Église de Thessalonique, au cours de sa première visite en Europe. Selon toute vraisemblance, elle a été écrite en 50-51. De ce fait, il s'agit du plus ancien écrit du Nouveau Testament. Son œuvre en Thessalonique est décrite dans Actes 17. Il voulait y retourner mais ne put le faire (1 Th 2:18). Il envoya donc Timothée réconforter les convertis et leur dire comment il allait.

God's identity is beyond what we could ever fully express in human words. But Scripture uses one particular word to describe the distinctiveness of God's character: the Hebrew word hesed. Hesed is a concept so rich in meaning that it doesn't translate well into any single English word or phrase. Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, often expressed as lovingkindness, covenant faithfulness, or steadfast love. He explores how hesed is used in the Old Testament to reveal God's character and how he relates to his people.
