Identifying different parts of the présent text of Philippians as separate letters takes the task of epistolary analysis beyond simple form criticism into the realm of narratology, for any conclusions about the composite nature of a text imply reconstructing a story of how the relationship between sender and recipient was unfolding. Using work on the discourse of epistolary novels, this study moves from a formal study of epistolary units in Philippians to examining how any compositional hypothesis (including a reading "as is") implies a more or less adequate strategy for appreciating the story of a Ist-century Macedonian community's friendship with the Christian traveler Paul
