Philippians Bibliography

Carson, D. A. Basics for Believers: An Exposition of Philippians. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1996.

Carson’s exposition of Philippians is a model of faithful exegesis and clear communication.

Chandler, Matt. To Live Is Christ. Colorado Springs: David C. Cook, 2005.

A more recent exposition of Philippians, bringing it to life in fresh ways.

Fee, Gordon. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. NICNT. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1995.

Well-written, pastorally warm, and often attuned to Paul’s use of the OT.

Harmon, Matthew. Philippians. Fearn, UK: Christian Focus, 2015.

My favorite commentary on Philippians. This commentary blends biblical theology and systematic theology with crisp and clear exegesis.

Lloyd-Jones, Martyn. The Life of Joy and Peace. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1999.

Still my favorite exposition of Philippians. Lloyd-Jones’s work is the most doctrinally rich exposition of Philippians available today.

O’Brien, Peter T. Philippians. NIGTC. Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1991.

The most rigorous, extensive, and exegetically faithful commentary on Philippians.
