Friendship and Philippians

Been a while since I've last blogged. School has kept me more than busy this year, but now with summer rolling around it time to start blogging again. I took a class on Philippians and Philemon in the short term with the very fine Ross Wagner. For our final project we broke into group and researched an aspect of Philippians or Philemon and created an internal class wiki. The group I was working with dove into ancient concepts of friendship. Surprising there is a rather large amount of literature relating to Philippians and friendship. Since the Wikis aren't available for anyone outside of the class blackboard site, I've decided to take the bibliography my group created and post it here.
