The purpose of this qualitative study is to discover what the apostle Paul means when he writes, "We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ" (Col. 1:28, NASB). This verse is often taught, quoted, and referenced in Christian education and discipleship literature. The process, scope, form, and goal of the message prescribed in Colossians 1:28, however, has not developed to a level that reflects the verses textual relationship with the compositional structure of Colossians, or the canon of Scripture. At this level of textual analysis, one of the most important, foundational, and transforming verses of Scripture in all the Bible serves as a locus for developing a biblical, theological, and practical process for discipleship that leads to spiritual transformation and fulfillment of the Great Commission to both Jewish and Gentile people from every nation. Chapter one lays a foundation for the study of Colossians 1:28. First, the topic is introduced and the need for a deeper understanding of the verse will be established. Second, the research goals and delimitations of the study are set forth. Third, the research questions and qualitative research model are identified. Fourth, characteristics of a text and textuality are defined, the research assumptions are set forth, and the compositional features of discourse analysis are applied to the text of the Bible, and to the New Testament epistle. Fifth, an introduction to the life and ministry of Paul, and to the letter to the Colossians is given. Sixth, a structural outline for Colossians, and an inner-textual analysis of the text is performed. Chapter one demonstrates the canon of Scripture, the New Testament epistle, and the letter to the Colossians reflect characteristics of textuality, compositional structure, and biblical theology that present a unified message and salvific power. Chapter two will answer the question, "Why do we proclaim Christ in Colossians 1:28?" Following an introduction to Colossians 1:28, the chapter will present an inner-textual analysis of the verse's immediate literary context in Colossians 1:24-2:5. Second, an in-textual analysis of Colossians 1:28 will be performed with attention given to inclusio, asyndeton, inflection, word order, number and declension, and clauses and phrases. Third, an analysis of Colossians 1:28 and the verses inner-textual relationship with Colossians will be presented with attention given to six unique characteristics and relationships that Jesus Christ possesses that inspire his proclamation. Chapter two will show, in order to combat false teachers that threaten to move the church away from the truth of the gospel, Paul reveals six unique relationships that Jesus Christ has with God the Father, creation, the new creation, redemption, the church, and the kingdom, that motivate his emphatic exhortation, and answer the question: "Why do we proclaim Christ in Colossians 1:28?." Chapter three answers the question, "How do we proclaim Christ in Colossians 1:28?" To discover the authorial intent and meaning of Colossians 1:28, an examination of the words, phrases, clauses, sentences, quotes, allusions, echoes, and themes will be performed, as well as, an analysis of the text's literary and compositional features on an in-textual level within the verse, on an inner-textual level within the letter to the Colossians, and on an inter-textual level with the Hebrew and Greek canon of Scripture. Attention will be given to the process, the scope, and the form for proclamation, admonishing, and teaching. In the process of analysis, the literary and compositional themes of "rescue" and "captive" will be introduced. Textual relationships will demonstrate that proclamation of the person and work of the triune God began at Creation, and continued after the Fall to include covenant promises to Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and Israel. God's covenant promises are designed to restore his blessings to mankind and creation lost in Eden, and they are designed to be fulfilled in the person and work of the promised Messiah. The textual analysis will show a consistent message, theology and practice between that which is prescribed in Colossians 1:28, and the message, theology, and practice of the triune God, the Hebrew prophets, and the apostles revealed in Scripture. The textual relationships portray the Colossians in a new theological position: (1) they are participants in a "New Covenant Exodus;" (2) they have experienced a "New Covenant Day of Atonement;" and (3) they have an inheritance in the "Messianic Kingdom of God." The purpose of the discourse analysis is to demonstrate that Colossians 1:28 is a locus and foundation on which to build a biblical, theological, and practical process for discipleship that fulfills the Great Commission for both Jewish and Gentile people from every nation.
