This book is a study of Paul's response to the financial help he received from the church in Philippi while he was a prisoner in Rome. It examines the rhetoric of Phil 4,10-20 and its function in the whole letter to the Philippians.In addition to a comparison with Greco-Roman practices regarding the exchange of gifts and patronage in society.

Where "self-sufficiency" is transformed to "Christ-Sufficiency".…mehr
