In this volume from the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, New Testament scholar Gordon Zerbe challenges readers to allow Paul's prison letter to the Philippian church to interpret our own lives—not by extracting lessons out of historical and cultural context but by imagining ourselves into the ancient world and back again. To understand Paul and his exhortations to the beloved and beleaguered congregation in Philippi, we must undomesticate Paul, and learn to see him as a leader transformed by grace and passionate about enlivening patriotic loyalty to Christ alone. Writing with pastoral warmth and scholarly acumen, Zerbe guides readers through this most treasured of Paul's letters and its inversion of prevailing notions about honor, reputation, and rank. In doing so, Zerbe illuminates for pastors, lay readers, and scholars alike the self-emptying yet exalted Christ we serve.
