A case-study in modelling the social make-up of an early Christian
community, including estimated figures for the various social
groups in the model. A case-study in how such modelling can make an
impact on the exegesis of a text. The result is a proposal for
reading Philippians as a call for unity under economic suffering.
In particular, the story of Christ in Philippians 2.6-11 is read as
a reinforcement of this call in the specifically Roman context of
Philippi. The book begins with a discussion of archaeological and
literary evidence about the development of the Roman colony of
Philippi. It also includes discussion of the likely effects of
suffering among various social groups in the church, exploration of
Paul's and Christ's roles as models for the Philippians, and
comparison of Paul's language about Christ with Imperial ideology.
