"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings" Philippians 3:10

Philippians is a devotional classic, and has been the favourite book of many Christians over the years. In these lectures, however, Dick Lucas helps us to get closer to what Paul's purpose was in writing to the Philippians, a church that was called to suffer for Christ just as Paul himself did.
Seeing the letter in light of its purpose will help us better understand the whole - in particular what it means for our daily lives in a culture that is increasingly hostile to the gospel.
These four lectures, given at the Teach-in days 2008, cover the whole book of Philippians for all those who wish to preach or teach it
