If 60% of scholars don't believe Paul wrote it, why does our analysis simply assume it was written by Paul? I'll put an NPOV notice up. john k 20:23, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] link and authorship

That's 60% of CRITICAL scholars not all scholars. This figure is rather misleading as it excludes those non-critical scholars who nearly all support Pauline authorship. Critical scholars usually question Pauline authorship. If you have two parties one orange and one yellow and I said, "Sixty percent of the yellow party voted yellow that would mean that %40 voted orange and to make this example accurate the orange would all vote orange meaning that 99% of the orange party and 40% of the yellow party voted orange.

I'm going to remove the link to "Nick Whyte's Commentary on Colossians". It's not a commentary, just a couple sentences about personal issues and it states that Colossians is "pretty good". It's of no use. --Victoria h 06:38, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed the Whyte link again. The link sucks and is musings about the subject, nothing exciting or relevant is added to the discussion. - Chad Hart

I think the Authorship section should be towards the beginning. This being because the rest of the article refers to Paul as the author and his authorship should be established first. Also this format would fit with the rest of the article dealing with books of the bible. I'm going to go ahead and do this. Let me know if there are any objections.
