Publisher's Synopsis
Philippians 2:6-11 is one of the most significant christological passages to appear in Paul's letters. Placing these verses against the backdrop of the Roman-imperial cult that flourished in Philippi, Dr. Surif examines Paul's eschatological framework throughout Philippians - as well as its tradition within Jewish literature more broadly - and explores the implications for Christians called to obedience, suffering, and holiness as active participants in God's work of salvation.
