Edition DescriptionNew Edition
SynopsisThough written from prison, Philippians has been called "the epistle of joy." Those who study and apply its teachings will see why. Paul's most personal and affectionate letter, it is deeply moving and rich with the gospel. This commentary helps readers enter into the heart of Paul and emerge transformed. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical. Taking into account the cultural, theological, and Old Testament contexts of each passage, MacArthur tackles interpretive challenges and fairly evaluates differing views, giving the reader confidence in his conclusions. The MacArthur New Testament Commentary series comes from the experience, wisdom, and insight of one of the most trusted ministry leaders and Bible scholars of our day. Each volume was written to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, dealing thoroughly with every key phrase and word in the Scripture without being unnecessarily technical. This commentary will help to give a better, fuller, richer understanding of God's Word, while challenging the reader to a vibrant personal spiritual walk. A great resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, students, or anyone desiring to dig deeper into Scripture, Philippians was written from prison, yet its theme is joy. In fact, joy permeates this letter so much that it has been called "the epistle of joy." Those who study its teaching and apply its principles will, like the apostle Paul, learn the secret of having joy, peace, and contentment in every circumstance. Join John MacArthur as he explains each verse in a way that is both doctrinally precise and intensely practical.
