Dwelling with Philippians: A Conversation with Scripture through Image and Word

by Elizabeth Steele Halstead, Paul Detterman, Joyce Borger

This rich, inviting volume illumines Paul’s letter to the Philippians through evocative juxtapositions of visual images, poetry, and other worship-related arts with theological reflections, prayers, and more. The book’s multidimensional approach creates abundant space for unhurried contemplation, whether in individual reflection or group study. It invites readers to dwell with Philippians — to slow down, to explore the texture and palette of Paul’s message in a deliberately measured way, to be drawn into the mystery, beauty, and life-changing power of this joyful biblical letter.

[David · Rating 2 out of 5]

Introductions to each section were pretty good. The rest of each section -- art, poetry, prayers, commentary on the art -- sometimes was a stretch and didn't add anything to the study of Philippians.
