In this clear, concise exegetical commentary, G. Walter Hansen offers rich exposition of the text of Philippians as well as wisdom and maturity in its application. In so doing he emphasises partnership - the social and corporate dimensions of community - in the progress of the gospel.
After a moderately sized bibliography, the introduction takes up the historical setting of the city of Philippi, the nature of the letter, the occasion of the letter, and a preview of two key themes, the gospel of Christ and the community in Christ. The community itself considers Philippians in the light of these themes, considering the greetings, reports of gospel ministry, recommendations of two Christ-like servants, and other emphases on the gospel and on partners or servants.
