Abstract
The renewed interest in dialogue between the Bible, practical theology and theological reflection is encouraged by this article which focuses on Paul's use of the word phronesis in the book of Philippians. After reprising the development of the concept of phronesis or practical wisdom in theology each occurrence of the word in the text is examined in detail using the biblical scholar Stephen Fowl's commentary. Thus the book of Philippians understood as an extended theological reflection on Paul's imprisonment serves as a dialogue partner with current practice in theological reflection. Several key points are made including the importance of developing an "ironic" theological imagination.
