""Relevant. Entertaining. Accurate. Transforming. Written for everyday Christians by an expert on Philippians, Nijay Gupta's guide strikes all the right chords."" --Matthew W. Bates, Associate Professor of Theology, Quincy University ""Philippians comes to life as Gupta illuminates the theological issues of the text and highlights the historical context of first-century Philippi. Gupta offers accessible examples as he guides readers through the practice of theological interpretation.

This skillfully written commentary should be a go-to volume for any pastor, lay leader, or student who desires a concise and thorough examination of Philippians."" --Lynn Cohick, Provost and Dean, Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary ""Gupta offers a remarkably accessible and rich introduction to Paul's Letter to the Philippians. Gupta is an ideal guide for all non-specialists wanting to learn how to read a Pauline letter with attention to its theological, historical, and exegetical texture."" --Joshua Jipp, Associate Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School ""Nijay Gupta offers an informed, learned, and eminently readable introduction to Paul's Letter to the Philippians. A wonderful survey of the letter, from the summit of the Christ-hymn to Paul's soliloquy about facing possible execution, suffused with great insights about Christian community, and it puts readers in touch with the latest in Pauline scholarship. A terrific volume by a world-class Pauline scholar!"" --Michael F. Bird, Academic Dean and Lecturer in Theology, Ridley College.
