5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent commentary from an excellent series!,
By Mark Van Steenwyk "Van S" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philippians: The NIV Application Commentary (Hardcover)
The NIV Application Commentary Series is one of the best commentary series I have ever encountered. Each commentary goes through the text of its respective book and 1) grapples with the original meaning, 2) finds bridging concepts from other passages of Scripture and historical sources, and 3) gleens present day applications out of the biblical text. While this commentary is sound theologically, its focus is more pastoral. It seeks to answer the question, "How do I live by these principles today?" The Philippians commentary follows this template with great success. One of the most profound themes of the commentary, and the book of Philippians, deals with the question of suffering. It is both intellectually stimulating and painfully practical.

This review is from: Philippians: The NIV Application Commentary (Hardcover)
This is a very good commentary. Besides giving the background of the text, it gives, as the title says, good practical perspectives on living out that text! Very good for pastors.

This review is from: Philippians: The NIV Application Commentary (Hardcover)
I am certainly enjoying the commentary given in this NIV Application Commentary on Philippians. The NIV does a great job in given the meaning of the original text, followed by an application for the modern church/Christian. Bridging the text is a great help in how the original was intended for the original audience and today's audience.
