Background by the Center of Biblical Studies.
According to Carolyn Osiek (NOAB5 notes), Philippians is
one of the richest letters of Paul with little denial that Paul
wrote it. Likely written in prison while in Ephesus in the mid-50s
c.e. Paul is not sure of his fate in prison. The primary theme is
being a Christian in a time of suffering (both Paul and Jesus
as examples).
