Christians throughout the centuries have loved Paul's letter to the Philippians for its call to rejoice in the gospel of Jesus Christ regardless of life's circumstances. But our familiarity with the letter can cause us to neglect or overlook Paul's message to the Philippians. Dr Matthew Harmon in this uplifting and inspiring work brings context and application to this wonderful book.

This was perhaps one of my favorite commentaries for sermon prep. With its sustained thought on what is actually in the text, exploring possible OT allusions and all the historical and background info that all the more technical commentaries have, this work had plenty to digest. The Greek is transliterated. Harmon's writing style is incredibly clear, yet the commentary is not simplistic at all. I think even the average pastor with no Greek and that has little in the way of seminary training could make a great deal of use from this.

Harmon’s exegetical study of Philippians showcases Paul’s attentiveness to the Old Testament. He carefully traces Paul’s argument and concludes each section with helpful suggestions for application.

This commentary was so effective for my study in Philippians. It provides wonderful pastoral insights and illuminates what Paul is saying so well. Wonderful exegesis is within this commentary.
