神一切的豐盛惟獨在基督裡，我們惟獨藉著祂完全的工作，獲得自由。豐盛與自由是基督徒生活的兩個層面，我們都期待享有的。保羅寫信給在歌羅西的基督徒，很詳盡、很有深度地闡明這兩個主題。當時在那裡有一些新教師宣稱，歌羅西人所認識的基督教信仰是不夠的；他們主張有一種更豐盛的經驗，更大的自由，勝於到目前為止，他們所領受的。但是保羅堅定地說，神一切的豐盛惟獨在基督裡，我們惟獨藉著祂完全的工作，獲得自由。路卡斯在本書的註釋裡，闡揚這些在信仰上十分客觀實在的真理，使我們能夠看見，這兩層在基督裡屬於我們的豐富（甚至包括那些現在還不相干、甚至是侮慢者），在神已經作成的工夫上，等待未來更美的成全。▕ 作者介紹▕路卡斯（Dick Lucas）倫敦Bishopsgate聖海倫教會的主任牧師。

偉大的清教徒註釋家孟頓（Thomas Manton），在他寫的猶大書註釋1上寫道：「我承認，天下書籍多得汗牛充棟，沒完沒了。驕傲與野心驅使許多人振筆疾書，以致全世界充斥著無用的糟粕與虛榮；所以寫作需要抑制，而非鼓勵。因為有些著作完全是浪費紙張，對於謙遜的能人來說，這種現象絕對不是小小的挫折。」這句話猶如平地一聲雷，敲響一記能使大多數人振聾發聵的警鐘。彼得後書與猶大書，可說是最不受重視與注意的新約書籍。他們對於基督徒生活的特殊貢獻，可憐兮兮的淪落在大多數聖經的後面，乏人問津。

The Fascist Groove Thing had many names: Thatcherism, monetarism, neoliberalism, individualism, militarism, nationalism, racism, and anti-unionism for a start. Popular music in Britain responded to this monster either by pretending it didn't exist or by throwing every weapon it could muster at it. This book collects five hundred interesting songs that addressed one alarming feature of Thatcher's Britain or another: the notional mixtape 'Whistling in the Dark,' for example, consists of song...
