Review Quotes: "Anything written by Dennis Johnson is well worth reading. He has been thinking about, preaching and teaching from Philippians for many years, so this work is all the more worth reading. It is filled with valuable insights into the biblical text and its practical consequences. This book is a true gem just like the man who wrote it."--S. M. Baugh, Ph.D., Chairman, Department of Biblical Studies, Professor of New Testament, Westminster Seminary California
