Summary:

This book provides a new, functional equivalent translation of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians, along with a full and eminently readable commentary on the letter.It interprets Paul's letter in relation to its historical and cultural environment, with due attention to its unique occasion. The commentary clarifies Paul's ways of defending himself against the attacks of a number of Corinthian Christians who preferred other missionaries to Paul, the founder of the Christian community in Corinth. It also elucidates his attempts to persuade all his readers in Corinth to keep on living according to the will of God. In these attempts, the apostle deals with topics such as marriage, sexuality, Christian freedom, spiritual gifts such as prophecy and glossolalia, love for one another, and the resurrection of the dead. In its treatment of the tense relationship between Paul and the Corinthians, the commentary gives more insight into Paul's letter and its ongoing significance.
