Abstract
This substantive volume is one of the best evangelical commentaries available on 1 Corinthians. This new edition has been updated throughout to account for recent scholarship.
Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians is one of the most important epistles in the New Testament. David Garland's thoughtful commentary engages contemporary scholarship while providing a readable study that will be accessible to students and pastors as well as scholars. As with all volumes in the award-winning BECNT series, this informative, balanced commentary features
● detailed interaction with the Greek text,
● extensive research,
● chapter-by-chapter exegesis,
● a blend of scholarly depth and readability, and
● an acclaimed, user-friendly design.
After considering the context of the letter and the social and cultural setting of Corinth, Garland turns to his exegetical work. An introduction to each major unit of thought is followed by the author's own translation of the Greek text. In the course of his commentary, Garland incorporates references to other ancient writings that help explain particular aspects of Paul's meaning or provide information on the social and cultural context.
