Dr. Matthew S. Harmon -- Philippians Full Text, and Other Languages

Disclaimer:  In order to get the English text, the audio was run through Speech-to-Text software (hence there may be errors). I checked the English, but the truth is I’m an inept editor (hence there may be errors). It was then translated by Google Translate (hence there may be errors).  Hopefully, while not perfect, it will be good enough to be helpful.  Text-to-Speech AI will be the next step in a few months. Thanks for putting up with my limitations, but I hope that this will open up Dr. Harmon’s excellent teaching to other languages and cultural contexts.

Best Commentaries on Philippians

  • Matthew Harmon, Philippians: A Mentor Commentary (Mentor, 2015) 
  • Gordon D. Fee, Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (NICNT, 1995). Widely treated as the standard. It reads the letter as a “letter of friendship” and pays close attention to the Spirit and to how the argument holds together.
  • Peter T. O’Brien, The Epistle to the Philippians (NIGTC, 1991). The most thorough treatment of the Greek text. It is still useful for exegesis, though Eerdmans withdrew O’Brien’s commentaries in 2016 over plagiarism concerns. I don’t believe this volume was among those named, but you may want to check.
  • John Reumann, Philippians (Anchor Yale Bible, 2008). Huge in scope and strong on the history of interpretation. It argues that the letter combines several earlier letters.
  • Markus Bockmuehl, The Epistle to the Philippians (Black’s NT Commentary, 1997). Concise and learned. It is very good on the historical setting and on the Christ hymn (2:6–11).
  • Gerald F. Hawthorne and Ralph P. Martin, Philippians (WBC 43, rev. 2004). Strong on text and syntax. Martin’s earlier work on the Christ hymn stands behind it.
  • Moisés Silva, Philippians (BECNT, 2nd ed. 2005). Careful linguistic and exegetical work from a leading Greek scholar.
  • Paul A. Holloway, Philippians (Hermeneia, 2017). Reads the letter as ancient consolation literature. It is the most rigorous work on its Greco-Roman literary context.
  • Stephen E. Fowl, Philippians (Two Horizons, 2005). The best choice if you want theological interpretation, especially on practical reasoning (phronēsis) and friendship.
  • G. Walter Hansen, The Letter to the Philippians (Pillar, 2009). Balanced and readable, and good on the letter’s setting in the Roman colony.
  • J. B. Lightfoot, St. Paul’s Epistle to the Philippians (1868). The classic. Its excursus on the Christian ministry and its notes on the Greek are still cited.

    Also worth consulting: Joseph Hellerman’s Philippians (Exegetical Guide to the Greek NT, 2015) and his Reconstructing Honor in Roman Philippi, Ben Witherington’s Paul’s Letter to the Philippians (2011) for a rhetorical reading, Bonnie Thurston and Judith Ryan’s volume in Sacra Pagina (2005), Morna Hooker’s commentary in the New Interpreter’s Bible, and Lynn Cohick’s volume in the Story of God series (2013).
    Suggestions: For close work on the Greek text, start with O’Brien, Fee and Hellerman. For the historical and literary background, use Bockmuehl, Holloway and Reumann. For theology, Fowl is the best place to start.
