As we studied about Philippians and the controversy of whether or not it was one letter or several combined I found myself asking what it mattered. I realize that it would have an effect on the way we interpret the book as a whole, but in general the book still emphasizes the three main characteristics that were discussed in class of suffering, humility, and Christian living. If you look at the text in this view with these central themes I think that even if it was still three letters we can see how they coincide and work together. Even in several letters or just one Paul makes these three themes work together very well even if his writing style seems sketchy.
