Asian Christians will identify with the context of the epistle to the Philippians—a church hemmed in on every side. The internal struggles of the community, personality conflicts among leaders, division within the church, and challenges from false teachers coupled with the violent threat from outside the church parallels the situation in many parts of Asia. This commentary studies the text exegetically in its original dynamic context while seeking to hear the rhetorical thrust of the apostle’s words in the Asian context.
