‘Paul I know, but who are you?’ That was my initial reaction to this commentary on Paul’s much loved letter to the Philippians, but by an author unfamiliar to me.
I needn’t have had any doubts about the value of the work by G. Walter Hansen. Not only is Don Carson the General Editor of this Pillar New Testament Commentary series, which should be reassuring enough, but the author himself writes with a firm grasp of current exegetical debates, appears to be across a wide spectrum of theological views and has a happy knack of finding the heart of an expositional structure which delivers something fresh and practical to a potential congregation or study group.
