Introduction
Toward the end of his life, Paul wrote the Letter to the Philippians to the first congregation he had established in Europe. In it Paul reveals his passion for the gospel and his love for his fellow believers in Christ. In Philippians 4:15, Paul writes about the special relation that he shares with the Philippian church. This is a church close to Pauls heart, one with which he shares true partnership in the gospel of Christ. When the Philippian church heard about Pauls imprisonment in Rome, they responded by sending Epaphroditus with a generous gift. Paul apparently wrote the Letter to the Philippians in response to this gift and the news of the church he received from Epaphroditus. This is one of Pauls letters that was not occasioned by problems in a church but by gratitude and deep friendship with a congregation.
Date, Authorship, and Place of Origin
The traditional view is that Paul wrote the Letter to the Philippians from prison in Rome around the year AD 60. There is little reason to challenge this tradition, although several alternative locations have been suggested for the origin of the letter and for the city of Pauls imprisonment, suggestions that will be discussed below.
Few scholars have questioned Pauls authorship of Philippians. The letter opens with the greeting from Paul and Timothy, but it is clearly Paul alone who has actually written the letter. Timothy might have been Pauls secretary or companion, but he is not a coauthor. His name appears again only in 2:19, whereas the first-person singular pronouns I, me, and my appear over fifty times. Both the biographical section and the theology are consistent with what we know of Pauls theology elsewhere in the New Testament, and from the earliest church fathers on, Paul has been considered the author of Philippians.
The date of Philippians is dependent on the decision about the letters place of origin. It is clearly written from prison, so the question becomes, During which of Pauls imprisonments did he write the Letter to the Philippians? Although several locations have been suggested, only two deserve serious consideration, since Acts records only two places where Paul was imprisoned: Caesarea (5859) and Rome (6062).
The text of Philippians offers several clues about where and why Paul was imprisoned: it appears that Paul was in prison facing a trial that could end in death or acquittal (1:1924; 2:2324), that he planned to visit Philippi upon his acquittal, that there were members of the praetorian guard (1:13 NASB, RSV; NIV: palace guard) and Caesars household (4:22) where he was being held, that Timothy was with Paul, that trips were being made between Philippi and the place where Paul was being held, and that extensive evangelistic efforts were being carried out in the city where Paul was being held.
