Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians while he was in prison, but it contains no hint of self-pity. Instead, the letter radiates joy--joy that Christ was proclaimed, joy in fellowship with the Philippian Christians, and above all, joy in Jesus himself.
In this Bible Speaks Today volume, J. A. Motyer identifies three major themes that filled Paul's heart and mind as he wrote: the unity of the church, the person of Jesus and what he has achieved, and the call to live a life worthy of the gospel. Guiding readers passage by passage through Philippians, Motyer provides helpful background, highlights key themes, and offers applications for Christians today.
This new edition of a classic BST volume includes a new interior design, lightly updated language, and updated Scripture quotations throughout.
