Philippians: A Devotional Commentary

See Your Life with New Eyes

About this book

With accessible expository commentary paired with inspirational devotional thought, The See Series speaks to both the heart and mind—unlocking a deeper understanding of the Bible often reserved for scholars and theologians.

Like all Scripture, Paul's letter to the Philippians reorients our vision. It is clear throughout this letter he was at peace and the believers at Philippi weren't. And the difference is perspective. He clearly wanted to change how they viewed their (and his) circumstances. By reframing the picture, he gave them reasons to celebrate, endure, heal their divisions, and move forward in faith. And he gave us a field manual for seeing our lives with new eyes and overcoming adversity.

Written by beloved devotional writer and biblical scholar Chris Tiegreen, each book of The See Series does more than encourage us simply to know and then do; rather, casts a vision for us to see, then be, then live. Like Jesus, who incorporated visual language into all his teaching, this series aims at refocusing our imaginations. If we can see what biblical writers saw and live according to that vision, we can be transformed.

A valuable resource for any Christian, each commentary includes:
  • an introduction to the biblical book to aid your study
  • an introduction for each subsection of the book, explaining its place and purpose in the text, the historical context or background of that section, and how it fits into the big-picture vision of biblical truth
  • a series of devotionals on the text that further explain purpose and meaning, offer suggestions for practical application, and inspire and challenge you to re-envision—to learn to see in new ways
  • a discussion guide in the back to help you further reflect on the Scripture passages and/or talk about them with others to expand your spiritual vision even more
Philippians: A Devotional Commentary gives rich insight into the truths contained in this New Testament epistle, offering a vision of a life filled with joy, gratitude, grace, and peace.
