Philippians (Formed by the Gospel)

An Accessible Verse-by-Verse Commentary of Philippians 

Choosing a Bible commentary can be a daunting prospect. With complex terms and dense exposition, many are tailored to scholarly theologians rather than everyday believers. And for those selecting resources in order to lead a small-group Bible study, speak at a women’s gathering, or simply grow in their knowledge of God’s Word, it can be hard to know where to start.

With warmth and clarity, Christine Gordon makes in-depth Bible study accessible without diminishing the richness of God’s Word. Verse-by-verse, Gordon guides readers through the full ESV text of Philippians to aid their personal study, group discussion, teaching, and outreach. In this heartfelt letter, Paul calls the Philippians to imitate Jesus’s example of sacrificial living, adopt a posture of humility, and pursue unity with one another as members of the body of Christ. Each volume in the Conversational Commentary series includes an engaging introduction, historical and cultural background, key themes, and suggestions for deeper study.
