The Hodder Bible Commentary: Philippians

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.PHILIPPIANS 1:27Paul''s letters are often read in the context of the difficulties they address in fledgling Christian communities. But Philippians is not so much a letter addressing problems as it is a letter encouraging progress, urging a community to be faithful to the Gospel and rejoice in it.Drawing on a deep knowledge of the Graeco-Roman world in which Paul and his original readers lived, Jonathan More''s commentary shows how Philippians provides us with a paradigm of what it means to live as God''s people in an inhospitable world, and reminds us to adopt Christ''s mindset of faithful obedience as we love and serve our Lord and one another.About the Hodder Bible Commentary50 volumes. 4 million words.
