“For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain” is surely one of the most startling, challenging, and comforting sentences ever uttered. Paul's epistle to the Philippians plumbs the depths of what it means to live and die in Christ. Here we meet Paul in prison, yet joyful in all circumstances and grateful that God is at work, achieving his purposes.

This accessible and Christ-centred commentary on Philippians offers fresh encouragement and deep insight into one of Paul’s most joyful letters. Written by experienced Bible expositor Peter Barnes, this paperback edition is designed to help Christians in the UK engage with Scripture in a practical, theologically rich, and readable way.

Barnes's clear explanations and pastoral tone make this an excellent resource for anyone looking to grow in faith, understand the gospel more deeply, and apply biblical truths to daily life. His focus on Christ's example and the believer’s joy in Him makes Philippians a valuable addition to any Christian's bookshelf.

The EP Study Commentary series is designed for ministers, theologians and serious students of the Bible. With John D. Currid as the series editor, EPSCs balance biblical scholarism with straightforward application, making them the ideal companion for pastors and Bible teachers.
