This book examines Paul's response to the financial help he received from the Philippians whilst he was a prisoner in Rome. The first study to look at this difficult text in the context of Greek and Roman practices of gift exchange, it sheds valuable new light on Paul's attitude to Christian giving and on his financial dealings with his churches.
