Philippians 2:6-11 is one of the most significant christological passages to appear in Paul's letters. Placing these verses against the backdrop of the Roman-imperial cult that flourished in Philippi, Dr. Surif moves beyond a humiliation/vindication or obedience/lordship paradigm to focus on the section's culmination in the universal eschatological worship of Christ.
