Philippians is known for its famous christological hymn, which narrates the incarnation of Christ. Paul’s message, however, does not focus on Christology. Instead, his letter to the Philippians addresses the question of how to live as a Christian in a non-believing world. He urges the Philippians to live within society in a manner worthy of the gospel, singing the praises of the ultimate example of this behavior—the exalted Lord Jesus Christ.
The Lexham Research Commentary is your starting point for study and research. Each volume gives you the tools you need to find answers quickly. This commentary is designed to do the time-consuming work of searching through commentaries, journal articles, and monographs to find the information you need, saving you valuable time by curating all of the best literature in one place—it’s a commentary on the commentaries. The annotated notes on the various viewpoints and interpretive options within the text allow you to quickly synthesize a broad range of views on a particular passage. Dense, jargon-filled research is distilled into easy-to-understand comments. As you critically study the text, the contextual notes help you place the passage within the narrow context of the biblical book and the broader context of the entire canon.
