Each section of a chosen pericope within the Philippian letter deals with these three themes in succession. For example, on Philippians 2.5-11 (the well-known kenotic Christological hymn), the exegetical idea is how Christ modeled a servant. The theological focus is humility. And, finally, the preaching idea is to climb down the ladder of privilege to reflect the attitude of Christ. After the three areas of focus, the commentary, in the summary section, lists "Preaching Pointers" that give the preacher/teacher ideas about what they should drive home when delivering the text.
This commentary contains all the usual information about the biblical book early in the commentary -- an outline, authorship, date of writing, location, audience, cultural issues, and the overall historical setting. So the student has accessible, under the same cover, some of the more pertinent introductory matters that would not require multiple commentaries. But this commentary is most accessible at the points where preachers will find valuable resources for engaging the text in the context of worship.
This is an essential resource -- and the series as a whole is a must-have -- for preachers.
