McMinn also did a dissertation at N.O. Baptist Theological Seminary on the
Phrygian Religions.

>Sitz-im-Leben on Colossians is the Semeia commentary by Lohse, published by
>Fortress.
I think that series is Hermeneia, but I agree that Lohse's commentary is an
excellent use of background material in exegesis. The footnotes are very
valuable.
