Abstract:
Throughout the New Testament, we find exhortations to imitate or follow in the steps of Christ, Paul and even some other godly people. In the Epistle to the Philippians, we find this exhortation to imitate incorporated into a Pauline theology of progressive sanctification. Sanctification in Philippians is portrayed as a conforming to Christ through the knowledge of Him, which comes through tripartite means of the Word of God (the Apostolic teaching), the internal work of God’s Spirit and the imitation of Christ, the Apostle Paul and other godly examples. We will aim at forming a biblical theology of sanctification through imitation restricted in our analysis to the Epistle of Philippians. First part of the article reviews the teaching of sanctification in Philippians, with an emphasis on passages where Paul directly addresses this issue: Philippians 1:9-11, 27-29; 2:12-16; 3:1-15. Second part of the article introduces us to biblical teaching on imitation, and then it reviews a downward spiral of imitation: imitating Christ (Phil. 2:5), imitating Paul (Phil. 3:17a; 4:9) and imitating Paul’s faithful imitators (Phil. 3:17b). In the conclusion, we will see that imitation of Christ and His faithful imitators is a means of progressive sanctification that is both important and often neglected, both by those who should serve as primary examples of godliness (spiritual leaders) and those who need to learn by imitating.

Abstract:
During the 1960s, a consensus slowly emerged in New Testament scholarship, especially in Germany, that the canonical letter of Paul to the Philippians is likely to be a compilation of fragments of originally separate letters. The case for this partition hypothesis was built almost exclusively on internal evidence, which centered around the abrupt shift in tone and topic at Phil 3:2: βλἐπετε τοὺς κύνας, βλἐπετε τοὺς κακοὺς ἐργάτας βλἐπετε τὴν κατατομήν (“Look out for the dogs, look out for the workers of evil, look out for the incision!”). This section of the letter, which runs from Phil 3:2 to Phil 4:1, is marked by a tone of polemic and personalapologiaabsent from the rest of the epistle. Some of the most persuasive partitioned of the letter, whom we may call the “fragmentarians,” have identified this section as a letter fragment, sometimes called aKampfbriefand sometimes a testament, which is now found in Philippians 3.

Abstract:
Religious audiences frequently hear prose hymns as a part of their ceremonies. The “Lord Jesus Christ” hymn in Philippians 2.6–11 is one such example. The Philippian hymn fits an audience’s performance expectations compared to other Greek and Jewish prose hymns and performances. A slave lector likely recited or sang the hymn when delivering the epistle and directly addressed at least four named recipients. This article examines the narrative links between the hymn and the address in 4:1–3. Utilizing performance-critical methods, we explore how this hymn likely functioned for the ancient audience. The reading of the “Lord Jesus Christ” hymn localized the worship of Jesus in Philippi, encouraged financial giving to Paul and Timothy, taught moral lessons, and prepared the audience to address their conflict “in the Lord”.

Abstract:
COVID-19 has stimulated reflections on crisis as a catalyst for interpretation in both the present and the past. This article reads Philippians as embedded in different forms of crisis, most specifically the negotiation of Paul’s own context of crisis: his imprisonment. The bodily, social and spiritual dimensions of this liminal incarceration experience are here set out and the ways in which these influence the fulfilment of mission within the epistle are outlined.

Abstract:
Throughout history, families have dealt with stress and crises. Hill's 1949 ABC-X model of family stress remains a useful tool for identifying the different components that affect how successfully families cope with stress. Paul's letter to the Philippians expands and illustrates this model. Therapists working with Christian families and individuals can use this model and Paul's epistle as a structure to help identify the type of stressor being experienced, explore family resources, and evaluate the individual's or family's meaning of the stressor, helping them to respond successfully to stress.

Abstract:
The article is an attempt to carry out a hermeneutic analysis of the biblical text of the Epistle of the Apostle Paul to the Philippians. The article is also part of the development of biblical hermeneutics in Ukraine. The main attention is paid to the concept of “joy” as the main constant and meaning-making basis for understanding the meaning of human life. “Joy” is considered not as a feeling, but as an action, thanks to which a person determines the main values of his existence: faith, service to God and people, understanding and acceptance of weakness and indecision in difficult times, acceptance of suffering as a form of strengthening his beliefs, and, in the rest the rest, great trust in God. Such human properties, which the Apostle Paul speaks about, form the integrity of the spiritual world, self-discipline and fill life. At the same time, they are the basis for perceiving the world in joy, because no matter what achievements or mistakes befall a person, he always has a reason to rejoice – the path to God leads a person to salvation, emphasizes the Apostle Paul.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis seeks to conduct an exegetical and theological investigation of the notion of submission in the Epistle to the Philippians, in order to evaluate whether or not the normative understanding of submission as oppressive or coercive can be sustained in Philippians. Our investigation begins with exegesis of Philippians 2:6-11 and 3:2-11. In Chapters One and Two, we interact with the dominant interpretations of each passage and propose our own interpretation of each passage and suggest a theory of integration between Philippians 2 and 3. Chapter Three delves into a different terrain of biblical scholarship: Castelli's post-modern critique of Paul's mimetic injunctions as rhetoric of coercive power. In rigorous engagement with Castelli's interpretation we accomplish two objectives. First, by examining Castelli's interpretation, we explore the notions of power/authority, hierarchy and submission, which prepare the ground for our analysis of submission. And second, we conclude our arguments against a strict understanding of mimesis based on the examination of ancient Hellenistic and first century Greco-Roman literature on mimesis. In Chapter Four, we investigate three primary elements regarding submission in Philippians: 1) the definition of submission; 2) the context of submission; and 3) the rationale of submission. These three elements are examined on three levels of relationships in Philippians: 1) intra-divine relations; 2) God-believer relations; and 3) inter-believer relations. These issues are correlated to Paul's theology and ethics in Philippians. And finally, in Chapter Five, we offer a brief interaction with three feminist theologians, in order to examine the validity of their claims concerning equality, hierarchy and submission in Philippians.

The present work has as its corpus the Epistle of Paul to the Philippians, especially the Hymn of chapter two, from verses five to eleven. There are two categories: the Epistle as a literary genre and the rhetorical figure of speech that structures the whole hymn and that is called chiasm. The work consists in an attempt to analyze the Carmem Christi and its chiastic structure, seeking to show how Paul used this figure of speech in order to structure this hymn. Parallelism is the main characteristic of Hebrew poetry (and chiasm is a subtype of parallelism, that is, a parallelism inverted), although Paul has written the hymn in Greek language, he writes according to Jewish poetic model and not Greek, making use of chiasm as he structures Carmen Christi for the purpose of emphasis and memorization. Therefore, it is crucial to know this figure for the correct analysis of the hymn proposed.
O presente trabalho tem como corpus a Epístola de Paulo aos Filipenses, especialmente o hino do capítulo dois, versículos cinco ao onze. As categorias são duas: a Epístola como gênero literário e a figura de linguagem retórica que estrutura todo o hino e que é denominada quiasmo. O trabalho consiste numa tentativa de análise do Carmem Christi e sua estrutura quiástica, buscando ver como Paulo usou essa figura de linguagem para estruturar este hino. É o paralelismo o principal elemento a caracterizar a poesia hebraica (e o quiasmo é um subtipo de paralelismo, isto é, um paralelismo invertido), embora Paulo tenha escrito o hino em língua grega, ele o escreve segundo a convenção poética judaica e não grega, fazendo uso do quiasmo na estruturação do Carmen Christi para efeitos de ênfase e memorização. Portanto, é indispensável o conhecimento dessa figura para a correta análise do hino proposto. A dissertação está dividida em três capítulos: I. Introdução ao Gênero Epistolar no mundo Greco-Romano e à Epístola Aos Filipenses; II. Quiasmo: Figura de Retórica Literária; III Análise da Estrutura quiástica de Filipenses 2.5-11.

This exegetical-theological investigation under the synchronic aspect has as general objective to analyze and verify how the resource of the periautology present in the epistle to the Philippians contributes to the understanding of the discipleship described by the writer throughout his missionary journey. The study seeks to present, specifically, the excerpts with periautological expressions in order to understand the reason why Paul insists on the apparently rhetorical expressions. This research intends to analyze the expressions, to elucidate the rhetorical situations of the resource, and to compare other pericopes that present the same rhetorical style. To begin with, a general survey of the letter is conducted, discussing the perennial questions in an updatedmanner. The hypotheses about the recurring polemics about the place where the letter was written, the question of the date of the writing, and the question of its unity will be confronted. The research aims to explain the question of periautology focusing on the mimesis of the model disciple. Furthermore, it seeks to investigate and present the theological consequences arising from the phrases specifically contained in the pericope of Philippians 1,12-26 to better ground Christian discipleship
Esta investigação exegético-teológica sob o aspecto sincrônico tem como objetivo geral analisar e verificar como o recurso da periautologia presente na carta aos Filipenses contribui para compreender o discipulado descrito por Paulo ao longo de sua trajetória missionária. O estudo apresenta, concretamente, os trechos com expressões periautológicas com o objetivo de aprofundar a razão pela qual Paulo insiste no recurso. Esta pesquisa pretende analisaras expressões, elucidar as situações retóricas do recurso, ecomparar outras perícopes que apresentam o mesmo estilo retórico. No primeiro momento, realiza-se uma pesquisa geral sobre a carta discutindo de forma atualizada as questões perenes. São enfrentadas as hipóteses sobre as polêmicas recorrentes quanto ao lugar no qual a carta foi redigida, à questão da datação do escrito e, também, a questão da sua unidade. Busca-sea ilustrar a questão da periautologia no enfoque do mimesis do discípulo modelo. A pesquisa investiga e apresenta, ainda, as consequências teológicas decorrentes das expressões especificamente contidas na perícope de Fl 1,12-26 para melhor fundamentar o discipulado cristão

Abstract:
Text in German with summaries in German and English
Die Kreuzestheologie erlebt seit Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eine anhaltende Renaissance. Die vorgelegten Beiträge gehen zwar von gemeinsamen Wurzeln aus, verzweigen sich jedoch in vielfältige, teilweise disparate Entwürfe. Deshalb ist neu zu fragen, was Kreuzestheologie ist. Die Antwort wird in sieben Schriften des Corpus Paulinum gesucht, welche auf ihren kreuzestheologischen Gehalt befragt werden. Dabei zeigt sich trotz unterschiedlich häufiger Verwendung der kreuzestheologischen Begriffe durchwegs die entscheidende Bedeutung des Kreuzes Jesu in den theologischen Grundlinien. Kreuzesaussagen erscheinen immer im Zusammenhang mit den zentralen Thesen der paulinischen Briefe. Der exegetische Befund führt zum Schluss, dass bei der paulinischen Kreuzestheologie von einem theologischen Ansatz zu sprechen ist, der zurecht umfassenden und kritischen Anspruch auf christliche Theologie und kirchliche Praxis erhebt.
The “theology of the cross” has seen a remarkable come-back since the beginning of 20th century. While the various contributions share similar roots, they differ widely in their approaches and constructions. Therefore, the simple question regarding the nature of a theology of the cross has to be raised again. This study seeks answers in seven writings of the Corpus Paulinum, which will be examined for their use of references to Jesus’ death on the cross. Although these letters differ significantly in their use of crossrelated terminology, they consistently testify to the crucial significance of the cross of Jesus in their theological paradigm. Statements about the cross are always an essential ingredient in the argumentation of these letters. The exegetical survey leads to the conclusion that Pauline theology of the cross is an all-encompassing and critical approach and principle for Christian theology and ecclesial practice.
