Sharing Christ in Joy and Sorrow

A Theology of Philippians

Exploring the theology and themes of Philippians, Sharing Christ in Joy and Sorrow illustrates how believers have unity with the suffering and exalted Christ, encouraging them to live joyfully amid all life circumstances.

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of Philippians

“To live is Christ, and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21). This bold and countercultural statement captures the central message of Philippians. In this New Testament letter, Paul offers practical advice for godly living and encourages believers to stay connected to the gospel amid hardship. Because the church shares in the sufferings of Christ, believers can experience joy even in suffering as they wait for the Lord to make all things new. 

In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Chris Bruno explores the theology and themes of Philippians and highlights how this letter fits into broader biblical theology. Through clear and engaging examinations, Bruno expounds on predominant themes—the church’s union with Christ, the church as ambassadors of the kingdom, the gospel proclaimed and opposed, the hope of life with Christ, and suffering with joy.
