Philippians (Everyman's Bible Commentary Series)

Publisher Description

It seems unlikely that a chained prisoner would write a paper on *triumph,*but in his letter to the Philippian believers, the apostle Paul did exactly that.  John F. Walvoord's refreshing analysis of this popular New Testament epistle combines an unusually fascinating style with a careful exegesis of the original Greek text. After discussing the epistle's authorship, date, character, and relevance to modern Christianity, Walvoord moves to a consideration of the prominent phrases in the Pauline writings.

Cross-references and historical background help to explain the text to the layman or student. Dr. Walvoord explains how the principles expressed by the apostle Paul can help the Christian to consistently experience peace in Christ.
