TNTC Philippians

The letter to the Philippians illuminates a warm relationship between the apostle Paul and the Philippian believers. Despite difficult situations being experienced on both sides, Paul finds ample reason to celebrate what God in Christ has done and is doing in the believers’ lives.

Jeannine K. Brown’s commentary explores the themes of this epistle, how its message is still relevant to Christians in the twenty-first century. She shows how motifs of joy, contentment and unity abound as Paul reminds the Philippians of the supreme value of knowing Jesus the Messiah, and highlights their significance for shaping the contemporary church towards living more deeply its identity in Christ.

Part of the Tyndale New Testament commentary series, Philippians: An Introduction and Commentary examines the text section-by-section exploring the context in which it was written, providing thoughtful commentary on the letter to the Philippians, and then unpacking its theology. It will leave you with a thorough understanding of the content and structure of Pauls writing, as well as its meaning and continued relevance for Christians today.

The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries are ideal Bible commentaries for students and teachers of theology, as well as being usable for preachers and individual Christians looking to delve deeper into the riches of Scripture and discover its meaning for today.

Insightful and comprehensive, Jeannine K. Browns commentary on Philippians is a brilliant introduction that will give you a renewed appreciation for this rich Pauline epistle and a greater knowledge of why it is important to the Christian faith.

Paul’s letter to the Philippians may aptly be seen as a meditation on joy. But Paul’s joy, rather than the result of ease and comfort, is a contentedness made pure through suffering. He has “learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.” Ralph Martin shows how these themes flow from and emulate Christ’s humility, lead to spiritual fellowship among believers, and contribute to spreading the gospel.
