Synopsis
The "Colossian Heresy" is a term that is used to describe the false teachings that occurred in the early church of Colossae, causing the apostle Paul to write his Epistle to the Colossians. The exact nature of the heresy is debated, and can only be guessed at by the content of Paul's counter arguments in his letter. Most scholars believe that the heresy was a mystical and ascetic form of Judaism that was pervading the church. Others believe the heresy was an early form of gnosticism. A few scholars in recent years have argued against the use of the term "heresy".
