Overview

What is the meaning of the book of Philippians? What was the situation in the Philippian church? What is the value and significance of Philippians for us? In this commentary on the epistle to the Philippians, Eadie attempts to expose the personal connection between Paul and the Philippian church, identifying its ongoing implications. Like his other New Testament commentaries, A Commentary on the Greek Text of the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians contains detailed commentary, thorough exegesis, and a meticulous examination of the Greek text.
