Aims of the Module
Christopher Alton
This module is an expository Bible study on the letter of Philippians. We shall start by looking at the historical and social context in which the letter was written.
We will then take an overview of the letter, like a reconnaissance plane performing a flyover. We will look at the main themes raised in the letter as well
as the issues Paul chooses to address.
We shall then go back for a more detailed look at some parts of the letter, to examine key passages. At the same time we will try to address some of the more difficult passages within the letter which can be hard to understand or interpret, where necessary, returning to the original language (Greek) of the letter to shed some light.
