    Bradley Arnold untersucht die argumentative Logik und das zentrale Ziel in Paulus' Brief an die Philipper. Dafür stellt er den historischen Kontext dar und untersucht die umfassende gedankliche Struktur der antiken Moralphilosophie (nämlich Aristoteles, Epikureismus und Stoa), den Sport in der Antike und die anschauliche Beschreibung. Dann erklärt er anhand dieser Bereiche das Wesen von Paulus' Argumentation im Brief an die Philipper. Durch eine exegetische Analyse des gesamten Briefes zeigt Bradley Arnold, dass Paulus' Argumentation ähnliche Strukturen aufweist wie die Denkmuster in der antiken Moralphilosophie und dass Paulus innerhalb dieses Rahmens den Sport an Schlüsselstellen einsetzt, um das Wesen der christlichen Existenz auszudrücke. Er vertritt die Auffassung, dass Paulus seine Sicht des Lebens im Bild des Läufers in Phil 3,13–14, das als lebhafte Beschreibung dient, zusammenfasst. Diese Symbolik spielt eine wichtige Rolle in Bezug auf Paulus' rhetorische Zielsetzung in diesem Brief, da sie seinen überzeugenden Appell an die Philipper, Christus als τέλος des Lebens zu folgen, im Kern zusammenzufassen. Bradley Arnold examines the argumentative logic and central aim in Paul's letter to the Philippians. A historical context is mapped out that is useful for these purposes, examining the broad structure of thought in ancient moral philosophy (namely, Aristotle, Epicureanism, and Stoicism), ancient athletics, and vivid description. The author then uses these areas to elucidate the nature of Paul's argument in Philippians. In an exegetical analysis of the entire letter he demonstrates that Paul's argument is structured similarly to the pattern of thinking in ancient moral philosophy and that within this framework Paul utilizes athletics at key places to conceptualize the nature of Christian existence. He argues that Paul sums up his perspective on life with the image of the runner in Phil 3:13–14, which functions as a vivid description. This imagery plays a central role in Paul's rhetorical aim in this letter, presenting in nuce his persuasive appeal for the Philippians to pursue Christ as the τέλος of life.
