“…In more recent years, the discussion of the suitability (or lack thereof) of pseudonymity (or allonymity) has grown immensely (see Aland 1961;Donelson 1986;Dunn 1987;Meade 1987;Bauckham 1988;Ellis 1993;Wilder 2004), and this conversation is deeply relevant to the analysis of authorship in Colossians. As some scholars have found Colossians to be pseudonymous and from a later era, this challenges details within Colossians-ones that the pseudepigrapher would have fabricated, apparently for the sake of authentication.…”

Pauline scholars, especially in the last century, have been almost evenly divided on whether they consider Colossians to be genuinely written by Paul or by someone else in his name. Through an exploration of the commentaries of eight key scholars on Colossians, this study examines the hermeneutics of authorship analysis in order to determine the key factors involved and how they are weighed. For the study of the authorship of Colossians to move forward in a productive way, a number of yet-understudied issues must be addressed and closely researched. In the meantime, tentativeness in conclusions is the most reliable stance.
