I love the content. It still distracts me when the camera changes but no one tells Tom Wright to look into the one that is on.

This is only after reviewing the overview session – this is a terrific set up of the setting, purpose, reason and content for Paul’s letter to the Philippians. I am looking forward to more of the details that professor Wright has to share.

Good overview for introduction of Philippians.
Geoff Johnson –
This course provided exactly what I was hoping for: insight on scripture from Dr. Wright targeted specifically on the book of Philippians but bringing the full breadth of Pauline and New Testament studies that Wright exhibits in his written works.
Keith I McPherson –
This is great. Rather, like the ability to take time stamped notes. If I had to be picky, the go back is only 5sec. Wish is was ten… that’s the fullness of issues I can muster 😀 Thank you for putting these things together.
Willem Venter –
Yes it is a good match because:
1) I have done the course”Paul: A Biography”, and wanted to know more. 2) We are going to read the letter in our congregation in 2022
