Letter of Paul to the Philippians



Book Written:  54 A.D or the early 60s A.D.

Time Period/Setting:  Paul wrote this letter from prison, though exactly which prison and where is unclear.  HC says possibilities are Ephesus, Corinth and Caesarea.  Baker says Ephesus.  Philippi is a port city in Macedonia, a Roman province.

Title:  self-explanatory

Paul is very fond of the Philippian community as they are of him.  The letter has a warm and joyous tone as Paul writes that no other church has been as kind to Paul as the Philippian church.
