Belief A Theological Commentary on the Bible : Philippians and Philemon
Outline: In this volume, Daniel L. Migliore plumbs the depth of Paul's letters to the Philippians and to Philemon. With splendid theological reflection, Migliore explores central themes of these remarkable letters - themes that include the practice of prayer, righteousness from God, and the work of reconciliation and transformation through Jesus Christ. With great pastoral sensitivity, sparkling joy in the midst of suffering, and deep theological reflection, Paul's Letter to the Philippians bears unforgettable witness to Christ as both humble Lord and supreme model of Christian life. Migliore shows how Philippians continues to speak to churches that, like the church at Philippi, struggle to be faithful to Christ, worry about the future, and need guidance. In exploring Paul's Letter to Philemon, Migliore finds that, despite its brevity, Philemon speaks with power to the church of every age as it summons its readers to extend Christ's welcome and love to all, especially to the poor and the despised. Migliore show how Philemon can enrich our understanding of the fullness of the gospel that Paul proclaims. In both books, Migliore deftly shows Paul as a remarkable theologian and pastor with a message instructive to the church of every age.
