Chunks: Paul's Letter to the Philippians

Christians share some central beliefs, but do not all believe exactly the same thing, not even with the same church. Some of these differences are on the level of “agree to disagree.” But some are much more important to the integrity of the gospel. The Jewish converts that Paul called “dogs”—scholars call them “Judaizers”—were suggesting a compromise that would undermine the very message of grace. Paul was not about to allow such beliefs to take hold in Philippi.
