Lexham Press is presenting another first in cutting-edge resources for teachers and pastors! This study in Philippians inaugurates a brand-new series by Lexham Press, the High Definition Commentary. Not only does it provide discourse-based commentary, but also features custom-designed slides to use in your teaching. Each piece of artwork is tailored to illustrate the key ideas of the passage. Dr. Steve Runge, author of Discourse Grammar of the Greek New Testament highlights what you need to know to teach effectively from this book of the New Testament.

This commentary draws on the insights provided in the Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament (6 Vols.), helping you identify the Apostle Paul's intent by examining the linguistic and literary clues in the text.

Divided into preachable chunks, Philippians features clear and concise big ideas of the passage, as well as custom-designed graphics that you can export directly for sermons or Bible studies.

A highly approachable and illustrative work, this expository commentary also uses real-life examples and stories.

Praise for High Definition Commentary: Philippians

Runge has offered the fruits of his labors in analyzing discourse features in Philippians. Not only is his work in this commentary illuminating, but he also supplies graphics that attractively communicate his main points. This is a perfect example of how scholars can simplify insights in a way that easily profits the pulpit and pew.

—Dr. Nijay Gupta, Assistant Professor of New Testament, George Fox Evangelical Seminary
