The First Letter to the Corinthians [PNTC] is a careful, sometimes innovative, mid-level commentary that touches on an astonishingly wide array of important, sensitive issues that have urgent resonances in twenty-first-century Christian life. As such it is immanently practical, but also thoroughly exegetical, well written, and text oriented. Roy Ciampa and Brian Rosner reveal how 1 Corinthians directly addresses the claims of unity and truth, church discipline, sexual matters, the Lord's supper, the nature of love, Christian leadership, while touching on significant academic questions such as verbal aspect and the use of the OT in the NT and many other significant topics.
