Philippians for the Practical Messianic – paperback
$17.99
In the commentary Philippians for the Practical Messianic, Messianic Apologetics editor J.K. McKee addresses many of the avoided issues that this text asks Messianic Believers. He takes into account the First Century Jewish and Roman background of Paul’s letter. He also considers the large amount of intertexual references that Philippians makes to the Tanach (Old Testament), deeply embedded in Paul’s vocabulary and mannerisms. Most importantly, he considers the centrality of Yeshua and His completed work for Paul, and how all human achievements pale in comparison to who He should be for us as born again Believers who have experienced His transforming power.
The letter of Paul to the Philippians is a frequently overlooked and disregarded text in the Bible by today’s Messianic community—yet it speaks so profoundly to many of the spiritual issues we are facing, or will undoubtedly be dealing with in the near future. With some of the highest Roman character among the texts of the Apostolic Scriptures (NT), Philippians invites readers into a community of First Century Believers on their own in the colony of Philippi. These people were surrounded by neighbors hostile to both Judaism and the good news of Yeshua the Messiah. Their numbers were few, but the Apostle Paul was able to consider them his close and affectionate friends, and seldom had a negative word for them. The Philippians were generous to his ministry work, and Paul had strong feelings for their well-being and labor in the Lord.
The Epistle to the Philippians presents many theological and social questions which cannot be avoided by anyone who reads it. Above all things, the Apostle Paul placed Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) at the center of his life, and urged his Philippian brothers and sisters to do the same. He urged the Philippians to be kind, generous, and significantly different from their neighbors. He urged them to show humility and to be about the supreme service of the good news, even unto death. He urged unity in the assembly, and that all demonstrate God’s love to others. He affirmed the mystery of both the Divinity and humanity of Yeshua. Paul also recognized the value of women in the local congregation as servants and leaders. For modern Messianic people, Philippians offers a significant example of how small fellowships and congregations on their own should function, in addition to the huge questions of how we must have a global vision which recognizes the virtues of other ethnicities and cultures, while still maintaining a Jewish-centric view of the Scriptures and God’s mission for the restoration of Israel.
