Many Christians consider the apostle Paul's letter to the Philippians a special treasure. Its grand themes of spiritual joy and vitality, the self-humbling Saviour who gave his life for us, the good news of a salvation that is superior to the boastings of the flesh - these and other gems still nurture followers of Jesus Christ today. This classic commentary will deeply encourage all who long to draw closer to God.
