In the 4th-century, this set of 15 homilies on Philippians was delivered by the great preacher of Constantinople, St. John Chrysostom (347 - 407 AD). Together these sermons give a complete verse-by-verse commentary of the letter and provide the oldest existing commentary available on Philippians.The epistle to the Philippians was composed by St. Paul, and his fellow-labourer St. Timothy, and is addressed to the Christian church in Philippi, Greece. Paul and Silas visited Philippi during Paul's second missionary journey (around 50 AD), where, according to the Acts of the Apostles, Paul and Silas were charged with disturbing the city. These homilies are taken from: Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on Galatians, Philippians, Colossians, Thessalonians, Timothy, Titus, and Philemon, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1889. Philip Schaff (1819-1893), Gross D. D. Alexander (1852-1915), John A. D. D. Broadus (1827-1895). The original Bible references and footnotes are preserved. Illustrations have also been added of the various events and figures mentioned in the text.
