Join Logos Bible Study’s Dr. Bill Creasy as he explores the tone and content of this very affectionate epistle, written during Paul’s stay in Rome, A.D. 60-62.

John Calvins Expository Treatises on Pauls Epistles have garnered acclaim from leading critics, a testament to their profound insight despite the challenging circumstances under which they were created. Composed in 1548 during a tumultuous period of conflict with adversaries of the faith, his commentaries reflect a remarkable blend of intellectual rigor and spiritual conviction. Correspondence from this era reveals Calvin’s unwavering faith, as he reassured his friend Brentius, then in exile, that the divine restoration of the Church was a promise of enduring hope—one that would prevail ...

When Paul is arrested in Jerusalem in late A.D. 57, it plunges Paul into a legal morass that sees him held under protective custody in Caesarea for nearly two years, transported to Rome for his legal appeal, and two more years waiting in Rome for his court hearing. Altogether, Paul is sidelined for nearly five years, A.D. 58 – 62.

Philippians is the Apostle Paul's most joyful letter in which he shares rich and encouraging spiritual insights with a church he loved and, because of his imprisonment, greatly missed.
