Saint Paul's Epistle to the Philippians

J. B. Lightfoot

Saint Paul's Epistle to the Philippians is a book written by J.B. Lightfoot that provides a comprehensive analysis of the biblical text of Saint Paul's letter to the Philippians. The book is a scholarly work that delves into the historical and cultural context of the letter, as well as the theological and spiritual themes that it contains. Lightfoot's analysis includes an examination of the Greek language used in the original text, as well as comparisons to other biblical texts and ancient literature. He also provides commentary on the various interpretations of the letter throughout history, and offers his own insights into its meaning and significance. Overall, Saint Paul's Epistle to the Philippians is an in-depth study of a biblical text that is relevant to both scholars and laypeople interested in understanding the teachings of Saint Paul and the early Christian church.1903. The present volume is a second installment of the commentary on St. Paul's Epistles, of which the author sketched a plan in the preface of his edition of the Galatians. At the same time, it is intended, like its predecessor, to be complete in itself; so that the plan, as a whole, may be interrupted at any time without detriment to the parts. The Epistle to the Philippians presents an easier task to an editor than almost any of St. Paul's Epistles. The readings are for the most part obvious; and only in a few passages does he meet with very serious difficulties of interpretation. Lightfoot took advantage of this circumstance to introduce some investigations bearing on St. Paul's Epistles and on Apostolic Christianity in general.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
