The Book of Philippians
Overview
Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, shows his deep concern for those under his leadership, a concern for their spiritual growth and prosperity. Paul expressed this concern in words of warm commendation, in words of stern warning, and in words of earnest exhortation. The epistle of Paul to the Philippians is truly a spiritual love letter from a spiritual father to his spiritual children. In this present work, Mr. Gingrich gives us a thorough and useful analysis of, and commentary on, Paul’s epistle to the Philippians.
