Philippians- Colossians

Paul's letters to the Philippians and Colossians celebrate the glory and supremacy of Jesus Christ and his saving work- a refrain that the reformers never grew tired of singing. While their tones are diverse- the clarity of their compositions and the power of their voices still reverberate today. Reformation commentators found the main themes of these Pauline letters deeply applicable to their circumstances- and volume editor Graham Tomlin urges that they are just as relevant to our own: Philippians overflows with thanksgiving in the midst of persecution and trials- Colossians defends the superiority of Jesus as Lord over all principalities and powers. For the Reformers as well as for Paul- all goodness and grace flows from Christ in whom "all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" (Col 1:19)- the Son who "made himself nothing" (Phil 2:7) in order to bring many daughters and sons to glory. This volume assembles a diverse chorus spanning place- time- and confessional differences: from Italian Reform-minded Catholic Gasparo Contarini and German Lutheran Martin Chemnitz- to Dutch Anabaptist Menno Simons- to French Reformed Theodore Beza and English Puritan Richard Sibbes. Scholars and pastors alike will find many fruitful insights from these and a number of other significant figures--most of whom enjoy fresh translations from the original- many for the first time in English.
