Philippians (eBook)

Linda L. Belleville is an adjunct professor of New Testament at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. She studied at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and St Michael's College, University of Toronto, and has taught at Calvin College, North Park Theological Seminary, and Bethel University. Her previous publications include commentaries on 2 Corinthians and 1 Timothy, as well as contributions to Scripture and Paul, Volumes One and Two.

"In an age when some commentary series produce massive tomes on even as short a book as Philippians, Linda Belleville's work, like the NCCS in general, is a model of succinctness. Yet all the basics are here and there are wonderfully incisive applications in the 'Fusing the Horizons' section and a bonus in-depth look at the famous hymn in 2:5-11. A nice treat." Craig L. Blomberg, Distinguished Professor of New Testament, Denver Seminary "Belleville has offered a ringing, lucid, and skilful guide for reading Philippians that gets to the heart of the matter. It is filled with keen insights that pastors, teachers, and students alike will find to be of immense help for understanding what Paul is doing in this letter." David E. Garland, Professor of Christian Scriptures, George W. Truett Theological Seminary, Baylor University
