Information on Paul's Letter to the Philippians from the publisher:
In Philippi, Paul addressed a congregation whose internal strife was compounded by opposition and suffering from without. Paul's strategy was to write them a letter of friendship and moral exhortation, reminding them of their "partnership in the gospel," their mutual suffering for the cause of Christ, and their need to "stand firm in one spirit.". "In this study of Philippians, readers will find an introduction that discusses the letter's occasion and purpose, authorship, and other background information, as well as its important theological themes. Passage-by-passage commentary follows that seeks to explain what the letter means to us today as well as what it meant for its original hearers.. "Students, pastors, Bible teachers and everyone who wants to understand Paul's message for the church will benefit from this resource.
Description of Gordon D. Fee, author of Paul's Letter to the Philippians:
A scholarly and readable study of Paul's letter to the suffering community of Christians in Philippi. New Testament scholar and textual critic Gordon D. Fee offers us the newest volume in the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) series, working directly from the Greek text, with comments from the New International Version (NIV). He provides us with an insightful comparison of Philippians to two well-known types of letters in the Greco-Roman world, friendship letters and letters of moral exhortation, and masterfully sets the letter to the Philippians within the context of the first century. His introduction includes information about the occasion, authenticity, and theological contributions of Philippians. Fee also offers scholarly insights which resolve many of the formal and structural issues that have long puzzled New Testament scholars.Overview of the NICNT:Theologically moderate/conservative Technical (knowledge of Greek and Aramaic necessary) Emphasizes the historical/literary contextsBased on the author's own translation from the Greek text, with comments based on the NIV translationGeared for scholars and pastorsOverview of Paul's Letter to the Philippians, by Gordon D.
