Obedient unto Death: A Guide for the Interpretation of Paul's Epistle to the Philippians

In Ears to Hear: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Bible I provide principles, methods, and procedures for Christians and ministers as they seek to hear God speak through the Bible and communicate the message of the Bible to those who need a word from God. This guide supplements Ears to Hear by illustrating the principles, methods, and procedures introduced in that guide through practicing them on Paul's Epistle to the Philippians. This guide is not an in-depth commentary on Philippians, but models how to apply the principles, methods, and procedures in Ears to Hear to a New Testament epistle. The first chapter contains my introductory study of Philippians and illustrates the method and procedures introduced in unit 2 of Ears to Hear. Chapters 2 through 13 contain my interpretations of the individual passages in Philippians and illustrate the method and procedures introduced in units 3 through 6 of Ears to Hear.
