1 1 2 corinthians This commentary explains 1 and 2 Corinthians passage by passage, following Paul s argument. It uses a variety of ancient sources to show how Paul s argument would have made sense to first-century readers, drawing from ancient letter-writing, speaking, and social conventions. The commentary will be of interest to pastors, teachers, and others who read Paul s letters, because of its readability, firm grasp of the background and scholarship on the Corinthian correspondence, and its sensitivity to the sorts of questions asked by those wishing to apply Paul s letters today. It also will be of interest to scholars because of its exploration of ancient sources, often providing sources not previously cited in commentaries. is a professor of New Testament at Eastern Seminary, a division of Eastern University. His previous twelve books include three award-winning commentaries: The Gospel of John: A Commentary, A Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew, and The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament.

Gordon, University of Cambridge Judith Gundry-Volf, Yale University Ben Witherington III, Asbury Theological Seminary The New Cambridge Bible Commentary (NCBC) aims to elucidate the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures for a wide range of intellectually curious individuals. While building on the work and reputation of the Cambridge Bible Commentary popular in the 1960s and 1970s, the NCBC takes advantage of many of the rewards provided by scholarly research over the last four decades. Volumes utilize recent gains in rhetorical criticism, social scientific study of the Scriptures, narrative criticism, and other developing disciplines to exploit the growing edges in biblical studies. Accessible, jargon-free commentary, an annotated Suggested Reading list, and the entire New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) text under discussion are the hallmarks of all volumes in the series. published volumes in the series Exodus,CarolMeyers Judges and Ruth, Victor H.
