Summary: "While past studies of Philippians recognize the theme of honour in Philippians and Paul's emphasis on his mutual relations with the culture, the integral relation between these two central themes and the role it plays in Paul's exhortations to the Philippians have not been developed. Taking the intersection of these two themes in the pivotal passages of Phil 1:26 and 2:16 as his focus, Isaac Blois argues that Paul's focus on the mutual boasting shared between Paul and his converts alludes back to the mutual boasting shared between Israel and her covenant God, as apparent in both Deuteronomy and Isaiah"--
