Philippians (Two Horizons New Testament Commentary Series)

Publisher Description

This fine new commentary on Paulbs letter to the Philippians bridges the gap between the horizons of exegetical work and of theological reflection. Noting that for the great pre-modern commentators of the Christian tradition, the literal sense of Scripture is always regulated by theological concerns, Fowl aims to present historical problems in ways that enhance rather than frustrate theological inquiry. Unlike commentaries that simply append theological reflection to historical-critical notes, Fowlbs volume displays disciplined attention to the text of Philippians while treating theology as a form of exegesis in its own right.
