This expositional commentary on what James Montgomery Boice calls Pauls great and very personal letter to the Philippians combines careful scholarship and clear communication in a way that is informative and helpful.

Based on messages preached at Philadelphias Tenth Presbyterian Church, these expositions on one of the Bibles most joyous books are ideal models for preachers and excellent resources for teachers of classes and small groups.

In addition to explaining the meaning of the text verse by verse and section by section, the author relates the texts concerns to the world in which we live, the life of the church, and the realities of the Christian life.
