"The advent of a new religion, making serious and impressive claims to embody a new revelation from on high, is not a frequent occurrence." Bringing alive the ebullience of Paul's visit to Philippi for the first time on his second missionary journey (49-51 AD), Robert Rainy discusses how the problem of practical living on this earth is to be understood and dealt with in the light of Christianity. Written more than a century ago, this very first Christian congregation in Europe has much to teach us even today. Noted for his scholarly comprehension of the text and the applications he draws from this epistle, Rainy's writing warrants re-reading. An excellent resource. CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.
