In this commentary, Frederick Brotherton Meyer delves into Philippians to explore the character of Paul and the application of his letter to the Philippians.
“Augustus gave it the dignity and privilege of a Roman colony. It was, in fact, a miniature Rome, hence its consuls and lictors (Acts 16:20). The great Egnatian Way passed through it; and as a Roman colony situated on this great thoroughfare, it was flourishing and wealthy, though now it is a desolation, trodden only by the traveller and shepherd.” (Page 12)
“It is sufficient to say that this Epistle has received unmistakable testimony as to its authenticity and genuineness. It is referred to by Ignatius and Polycarp, quoted by Clement, Irenæus, and Tertullian, and bears in its texture abundant evidence of having issued from the heart and mind of the great Apostle to the Gentiles.” (Page 13)
“Bunyan describes as ‘a den,’ but the Apostle was conscious, as Bunyan never was, of the daily clank of the chain which accompanied every movement.” (Pages 11–12)
“this Epistle was written at the beginning of Paul’s imprisonment in Rome, we must assign to it the date a.d. 62” (Page 11)
“During the seven following years he grew in knowledge and love, and on Paul’s second visit he was judged capable of accompanying him, and sharing his hardships and labours on behalf of the Gospel.” (Page 13)
