""Richard Melick has written an exegetically wise, theologically faithful, practically fruitful exposition of Philippians. Philippians is full of wisdom and instruction for the Christian life and the Christian community. Pastors, students, and anyone interested in learning about Philippians will find Melick's exposition to be an edifying and instructive."" - Thomas R. Schreiner, James Buchanan Harrison Professor of New Testament Interpretation, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ""It is great to see this revised edition of Richard Melick's commentary on Philippians! This is a significant update with particularly helpful attention given to the literary structure and flow of thought of the letter. Deeply exegetical, richly theological, and warmly pastoral, this commentary will be a wonderful resource for pastors, students, and anyone wanting to understand and live out the book of Philippians."" - Ray Van Neste, Dean of the School of Theology & Missions and Professor of Biblical Studies, Union University ""More than thirty years ago, Richard Melick published the first volume in the New American Commentary. Building on his previous research, Melick's expanded work continues to feature solid and faithful theological exposition. The work, however, is not merely a reprint for a new series. This volume has been strengthened by careful research, fresh exegesis, and the rethinking of matters of interpretation brought about by years of thoughtful reflection on the writings of the apostle Paul. Pastors, teachers, and students will be blessed by the seriousness and reverence with which Melick approaches the biblical text. It is a joy to recommend this fine volume on Paul's Letter to the Philippians."" - David S. Dockery, President and Distinguished Professor of Theology, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary ""Richard Melick is one of the most trusted New Testament scholars in Baptist life. His exceptional commentary on Philippians is exegetically precise, theologically faithful, pastorally wise, and consistently insightful. I'll personally be turning to it each week as I preach through Philippians."" - Christopher W. Morgan, Dean and Professor of Theology, School of Christian Ministries, California Baptist University ""Richard Melick's original NAC commentary was a model of faithful and reverent exegesis from the pen of a scholar that has sat at the feet of the great Apostle to the Gentiles for decades. Pastors learned to trust that commentary for careful attention to the structure and syntax of the original text, sound theology, and love for the Lord and his church. This new updated and expanded commentary on Philippians is an even greater gift to those seeking guidance in expounding this epistle. It will be a rich resource for all who seek to correctly handle the word of truth."" - Charles L. Quarles, Research Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary I am grateful that the next generation of pastors, scholars, and Bible students will have access to Dr. Richard Melick's clear and insightful Commentary on Philippians, especially in this updated and refined edition. Always a model of evangelical scholarship and statesmanship, he perfectly blends rigorous exegesis with theological fidelity and pastoral sensitivity. Whether scaling the doctrinal heights of Christology or exploring the practical terrain of church unity, Melick helps every reader apprehend the beauty and impact of Paul's epistle of joy. - Hershael W. York, Victor & Louise Lester Professor of Preaching and Dean, School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
