A significant portion of the New Testament is made up of epistles, or letters. However, letters in the ancient world had variable forms and structures that differ from our twenty-first century concept of a letter. Therefore, studying and understanding this genre from the perspective of the original audience is invaluable for any student of scripture. Using Paul's letter to the Philippians as a model, Dr. Gordon Fee instructs us on the importance of learning how to establish a good reading strategy as we approach the study of scripture so that we can become good students of scripture.
