DESCRIPTION

"This excellent book makes a strong and convincing case that Paul expected his converts to engage in mission. A first-class contribution to scholarship that will delight all researchers in the field."--John M. G. Barclay, Durham University

Did Paul urge Christians to engage in mission? What would that have meant in his setting? What should the church be doing now? This essential study examines Paul's letter to the Philippians in its ancient Jewish context, making a convincing case that Paul expected churches to continue the work of spreading the gospel. Published in hardcover by Brill in Supplements to Novum Testamentum, it is now available as an affordable paperback.
