Paul's Letter to the Philippians
It is likely that the first time the Gospel was preached in all of Europe, it was done by Paul in Philippi. As you’ll soon discover, it turned out to be quite an interesting trip (see Acts 16)…
After being “forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,” Paul and his entourage arrived in Philippi to convert Lydia, managed to get arrested for casting out demons, and subsequently converted their jailer after an earthquake flung open the doors to the prison cells. These events, coordinated by a protecting God, were responsible for the birth of the European church.
And it was to this church that Paul wrote his letter to the Philippians.
This community commentary was compiled through an online group study on the epistle, in which we worked through the entire book one passage at a time. Bloggers and writers from various backgrounds led us through the discussion as if we were sitting in someone’s living room together talking through this amazing piece of Scripture.
In this book, we’ve compiled these posts and enhanced them with some Greek and English keyword studies. These are designed to help you get the most out of reading Paul’s letter to the church of the Philippians.
This commentary is different from most commentaries in that it is not a deep, theological study into the Biblical text. Rather, it is a more practical, real-world, everyday discussion on how this text applies to our lives ... written by regular people.
