Philippians, 2nd Edition (Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New Testament)

With its userfriendly design, this commentary by Moiss Silva provides a substantive yet accessible discussion of Philippians to help pastors, students, and teachers understand and explain this letter.

Each passage is presented in three parts: Silvas own translation of the Greek text; exegesis and exposition of each unit of thought; and additional notes on textual matters. Throughout the commentary, Silva asks what is distinctive about this letter and shows how each passage contributes to Pauls overall argument.

The second edition has been updated to interact with important recent scholarship on Philippians and to incorporate the wellregarded BECNT design.
