Full Description
This commentary, offering a fresh translation of the Greek text followed by text-critical, grammatical, historical, and theological analyses, combines linguistic sensitivity, insights from first century Roman Corinth, and theological depth in an exegesis of 1 Corinthians that shows how this letter calls its addresses to be self-conscious and intentional in their church life.
