Very pleased this material is accessible by the general public as opposed to only those in a seminary. Thank you.
Professor Wright always brings a rich and sober perspective on the text, based on his decades-long intense study of the text within its multi-dimensional first century context. How blessed we as world-wide body of Christ are to receive the fruit of years of delving, exploring and thinking in such an accessible way! I am convinced that those who are wondering about Christianity will also here find a lot of practical help.
Really great insights and guidance from Dr. Wright as he talked his way through Paul's letter. It seemed more like a conversation with a friend, rather than a lecture. Helped me to grow personally and inspired me to then teach a study on Philippians to others.
Easy to follow the format. Amazing content! Background info allows the deeper meaning of the passages to be exposed and he does a great job of tying them all together.
Easy to listen to and to comprehend the thoughts of Paul as narrated by Professor Wright.
I have been taking N.T. Wright's courses for the past two years now and it has impacted by my life, my ministry and my theology so much. Thank you, Professor Wright. Hope to meet you one day :-) God bless you more!
This course provided exactly what I was hoping for: insight on scripture from Dr. Wright targeted specifically on the book of Philippians but bringing the full breadth of Pauline and New Testament studies that Wright exhibits in his written works.
Good overview for introduction of Philippians.
Yes! It is a timely course, also, needing joy in the Lord these days. Thank you! :)

Philippians has been a favourite book of mine, and it has been deeply gratifying to be led in a more thorough study of it by Dr. Wright. As always, his grasp of the early Christian world, the nuances of culture and language, and the theological challenges for Christians then and now are deeply illuminating. I have had many learning experiences with Dr. Wright through his books, courses, and lectures, and I always gain a deeper understanding from him of the faith. He is a remarkable theologian and and spiritual guide.
