Commendation: Zanchi's Commentary on Philippians

Edited X Post:

Last Sunday completed a short expositional sermon series through Philippians (18 sermons). One of my reading companions through the series has been

@Pjobanion's translation of Girolamo Zanchi's Commentary on the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Philippians from @MerchRoyalPress (2024).

I'm hoping to write a review of the commentary that might show up in an academic journal somewhere, but for now, let me offer a short commendation of this commentary here on X. Excellent insights on text, structure, and doctrine, not to mention pastoral and practical applications. Many pithy and meaty short quotes were mined, extracted, and employed in preaching (many long and short quotes were shared by me on X).

If you are a confessional minister planning to preach through Philippians, ditch the modern commentaries (or at least supplement them) and take up Zanchi. You and your hearers will be richly rewarded. This should now be essential reading for confessional preaching through Philippians.
