Thoroughly enjoyed listening to a masterful Bible teaching encouraging me to think Christianly.
By Rev Dr Jim Taylor on 9/22/2020
I am a 30-year military veteran and a 27-year ordained minister in chaplaincy. I have experienced unity and holiness in life. This first overview session is very exciting to help me continue to grow and learn in the combination of the two. Also, my father was also a POW in WWII and was moved around.

I am just finding out about NT Wright, this is a good introduction
By Cynthia Black on 9/16/2020
Easy to listen to and informative; stated in a way that makes me eager to dive into Philippians.
By Simon Etty on 9/16/2020
Going over old ground for personal growth and also to feed into Zoom Bible study meeting for local church. Very well presented and not rigidly dogmatic which works for me: where we just don't know he says so but he has also fleshed out a good number of other ideas I'm going to have to think and pray about. Accessible, engaging and relevant.

Up to the standard I have come to expect from N T Wright
By Marini Thian on 9/12/2020
Prof Wright gave so many new insights especially the cultural context of the letter when it was written. These are valuable insights which are eye-opening and mind-transforming with the help of the Holy Spirit as I learn through the courses in the Book of Philippians

Very interesting and enlightening commentary
By Stephen Melton on 9/8/2020
It was ok. I like professor Wright but sometimes I didn't get a clear connection to life.
By Alfred W. S. Martin on 8/15/2020
Der Kurs hat uns in vielerlei Hinsicht die Augen fr neue Aspekte und Sichtweisen geffnet. Besonders auch dort, wo wir in unserer Kongregation etwas befangen, oder gar gefangen waren. Wir haben neu erfasst, was fr eine grossartige Tatsache es ist, zu den Jesus-Leuten gehren zu drfen.
By Betty Handrick on 8/7/2020
I love the Letter to the Philippians. I love the joy, the encouragement, the co-labor between the church and Paul. This opened up my eyes to ways that can be put into action, and it gave me great hope.
By Richard Hare on 8/3/2020
Yes, very encouraging and thought provoking
