In his epistle to the Philippians, Paul addresses internal
struggles and external pressures that the church faced. In the
letter he presents the sacrificial life of Christ as the ultimate
example, "the ethical foundation for all of life," and then calls
believers to imitate Christ in their own lives. In this volume,
Mark J. Keown scrupulously examines Philippians with a clear eye on
the original text and a fine-tuned ear to first-century culture
while also interacting with the full history of scholarship on
Philippians. Keown also carefully considers the letter's
theological and devotional importance for present-day believers.
The result is the most comprehensive commentary on Philippians yet
published.
Paul and the Greco-Roman Philosophical Tradition provides a fresh
examination of the relationship of Greco-Roman philosophy to
Pauline Christianity. It offers an in-depth look at different
approaches employed by scholars who draw upon philosophical
settings in the ancient world to inform their understanding of
Paul. The volume houses an international team of scholars from a
range of diverse traditions and backgrounds, which opens up a
platform for multiple voices from various corridors. Consequently,
some of the chapters seek to establish new potential resonances
with Paul and the Greco-Roman philosophical tradition, but others
question such connections. While a number of them propose radically
new relationships between Paul and GrecoRoman philosophy, a few
seek to tweak or modulate current discussions. There are arguments
in the volume which are more technical and exegetical, and others
that remain more synthetic and theological. This diversity,
however, is accentuated by a goal shared by each author - to
further our understanding of Paul's relationship to and
appropriation of Greco-Roman philosophical traditions in his
literary and missionary efforts.

What was the relationship of ancient education to early
Christianity? This volume provides an in-depth look at different
approaches currently employed by scholars who draw upon educational
settings in the ancient world to inform their historical research
in Christian origins. The book is divided into two sections: one
consisting of essays on education in the ancient world, and one
consisting of exegetical studies dealing with various passages
where motifs emerging from ancient educational culture provide
illumination. The chapters summarize the state of the discussion on
ancient education in classical and biblical studies, examine
obstacles to arriving at a comprehensive theory of early
Christianity's relationship to ancient education, compare different
approaches, and compile the diverse methodologies into one
comparative study. Several educational motifs are integrated in
order to demonstrate the exegetical insights that they may yield
when utilized in New Testament historical investigation and
interpretation.
