Respected Pauline scholar Peter O'Brien brings depth and practicality to his volume on the Philippians. O'Brien delves heavily into the Greek text, bringing out of it an invaluable theological study, comparing modern scholars' interpretations and insights so that a variety of exegetical concerns are addressed. This volume is particularly well-suited for teachers, pastors, and for the Greek-educated layperson in love with Paul's urgings to the Philippians.

Christianity Today, Number 2 Critics Choice for Commentaries (1993)

Australian Biblical Review

"A fine commentary, very clearly written, and one in which the author's aims—harvesting the results of recent research, without losing sight of the commentator's primary responsibility of wrestling with, and commenting upon, the text itself—have not been forgotten."
