FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL
Philippians simply explained
By Hywel R. Jones. Evangelical Press. 167 pages. £8.99
ISBN 978-0-85234-723-5

It was with a degree of trepidation that I started to review Dr. Jones’s commentary on Philippians. Never before had I been asked to evaluate a book where two of the author’s children and four of his grandchildren belonged to the church where I serve! What if it wasn’t any good? Would I have to use a pseudonym?

Thankfully, it was good! For the sake of the gospel is part of EP’s Welwyn Commentary series. This is a series which aims to explain the Bible simply so that a typical church member can understand it. It’s actually a rewrite of a commentary which Dr. Jones wrote several years ago.
