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.
