1 Corinthians

An engaging theological commentary on 1 Corinthians that emphasizes practical applications for Christian life and ministry  

 


Authored by renowned New Testament scholar Michael J. Gorman, this commentary is designed for pastors, students, scholars, and lay people who want a careful exposition of 1 Corinthians that stresses its theological content and considers its spiritual, pastoral, and missional implications for today.


 


As Gorman leads readers through the biblical text, he explores key Pauline themes found in his previous work on Paul while he interprets 1 Corinthians as a pastoral letter about the marks of the church—a summons to the body of Christ then and now to be one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. Like Gorman's highly regarded commentary on Romans, this commentary on 1 Corinthians emphasizes the letter's practical applications and includes questions for reflection and sidebars on important topics, all of which make it an essential resource for teaching and preaching at any level.
