Philippians - A Commentary For Biblical Preaching And Teaching

Kerux (KAY-rüxs) commentaries equip the pastor or teacher with the big idea of each passage, preaching strategies, contemporary connections, suggestions for creative presentation, illustrations, and more. Each volume has an exegetical author and a homiletic author who partner together to provide sound insight and guidance for effective proclamation.
Just as in biblical times a kerux was a herald who proclaimed the official announcement of the king, so the 45 volumes in this series will enable the preacher or teacher to accurately, authoritatively, and dynamically communicate the message of the divine King. In the book of Philippians, Paul is writing from prison to a church he loves. Even though he faces suffering and persecution, he writes about whole, joyous living. In every congregation and audience, there will be people all along the spectrum of joy and suffering. This commentary provides the resources to understand and teach the main emphases from Paul’s letter for the situations and needs of hearers today.
