Top 3 Commentaries
Paul's Letter to the Philippians. NICNT. Eerdmans, 1995.
Nijay Gupta
Fee’s 1995 commentary has stood the test of time as a wise and mature treatment of Philippians, that relates Paul’s zeal for the work and mission of Christ to theology and ministry today. more
Warren Truesdale
Possibly the best commentary I have ever read. more
Tim Challies
Fee’s commentary is considered almost the equal of O’Brien’s, though with the advantage that it is far more readable (since, after all, it comments on the NIV rather than the Greek text). more
Philippians. BECNT. Baker Academic, 2005.
BrandonSCorley
In terms of quality, I think Silva's commentary is the best one out there with Fee's as a close second and O'Brien as 3rd. more
Warren Truesdale
This is a very well-rounded commentary in an exceptional series written by a knowledgeable New Testament scholar and skilled exegete. more
Robert M. Bowman, Jr
Still one of the very best commentaries on Philippians, by a well-known evangelical NT scholar. more
Tim Challies
This commentary is now in its second edition and this new edition is considered significantly stronger than the first. more
Phillip J. Long
Silva’s commentary was one of the earliest in the Baker series, originally a reprint of the 1988 Wycliffe Exegetical Commentary. more
The Epistle to the Philippians. BNTC. Hendrickson Publishers, 1998.
Nijay Gupta
It is unfortunate that Bockmuehl has not written more biblical commentaries, as this one is of extraordinary value, especially given its modest size. more
New and Notable
Philippians. BTCB. Brazos Press, 2020.
Michael Bird's Blog
Hunsinger's Phippians commentary offers a mixture of poignant insights from Protestant dogmatics, Barthian exegesis, and resourcement of ancient tradition. more
