Description
An Accessible Verse-by-Verse Commentary of Philippians
Choosing a Bible commentary can be a daunting prospect. With complex terms and dense exposition, many are tailored to scholarly theologians rather than everyday believers. And for those selecting resources in order to lead a small-group Bible study, speak at a women's gathering, or simply grow in their knowledge of God's Word, it can be hard to know where to start.
With warmth and clarity, Christine Gordon makes in-depth Bible study accessible without diminishing the richness of God's Word. Verse-by-verse, Gordon guides readers through the full ESV text of Philippians to aid their personal study, group discussion, teaching, and outreach. In this heartfelt letter, Paul calls the Philippians to imitate Jesus's example of sacrificial living, adopt a posture of humility, and pursue unity with one another as members of the body of Christ. Each volume in the Conversational Commentary series includes an engaging introduction, historical and cultural background, key themes, and suggestions for deeper study.
Comprehensive Study Companion: Formatted for personal study, small-group discussions, or as a research tool for Bible teaching and outreach
Conversational Language: Written in a clear, engaging way that doesn't sacrifice theological depth
Study of Philippians: Helps readers ??see the astonishing, surprising love of Christ and how it can be imitated by his people
By Women, for Women: Written by Christine Gordon, cofounder of At His Feet Studies and a visiting instructor at Covenant Theological Seminary
Helpful Study Tools: Includes an introduction to Philippians, an overview of its historical context and themes, verse-by-verse explanations, and suggestions for further study
Affordable Format: Designed as a paperback to be accessible for a wide audience
