The book explores the social dynamics of an early Christian community through a case study that models various social groups and their implications for interpreting biblical texts. It proposes that Philippians serves as a call for unity amidst economic hardship, particularly highlighting Philippians 2.6–11 as a reinforcement of this message within the Roman context of Philippi. The discussion includes archaeological and literary evidence, the impact of suffering on different social groups, and a comparison of Paul's portrayal of Christ with Roman imperial ideology.
