In most areas of this Epistle, B. Ward Powers has come to share the interpretation of Paul's meaning held by the Early Church Fathers; although he explains and expounds those views. This is particularly the case in relation to chapters 12 through 14 where, in keeping with the Early Church Fathers, the Reformers, most Scripture expositors until recent times, and many present-day exegetes, Powers expounds the interpretation that "tongues" refers to human languages spoken on earth. The one major area where Powers parts company with the Fathers of the first Christian centuries is in relation to matters of sex and marriage, divorce and remarriage, and attitudes to women generally. Here Powers explains that Paul is more affirming of sex, marriage and remarriage, and women than many early writers (and some modern writers) have understood him to be. "We need at times to take considerable care," he writes, "to understand the meaning of what Paul says to the Corinthians, and in coming to terms with how this teaching is to apply to us in today's world. But when we have arrived at our understanding of these things, then there is no question: this is the Word of God to us, and we must take it very seriously indeed. We cannot just dismiss it offhandedly and simply say, 'Well, that is just Paul's opinion, and we can take it or leave it.' Not at all: Paul has explained clearly that what he writes comes with the inspiration and authority of the Holy Spirit of God."

Having rigorously exegeted the text of 1 Corinthians for our exotic-language translation project here at the earth's remotest corner, by God's goodness I came across Ward Powers's manuscript commentary on 1 Corinthians. In subsequent weeks I changed our translation in at least thirty places, some single vocabulary choices and others significant reworkings of extended passages. Would that every translator possess this treasury of rich insights into the 1 Corinthians that Paul wrote. Some commentaries may be referenced for this or that difficult passage; this one will be read from cover to cover, holding the reader's attention to the very end and rewarding him richly. Definitely a new standard. --Timothy Friberg Director of the Analytical Greek New Testament Project, Whitefish, Montana B.

Anthony Thiselton's lengthy New International Greek Testament Commentary volume The First Epistle to the Corinthians (2000) has become a standard work on 1 Corinthians. In this "shorter" commentary Thiselton draws on his excellent exegesis from that volume but combines it afresh with keen practical and pastoral application for readers at all levels. Thiselton delves deeply into the context and text of Paul's first Corinthian letter as he suggests, section by section, how the book applies to pastoral and practical issues. He draws vivid parallels between the growing church in Corinth and the twenty-first-century church, demonstrating that today's church also faces a seductive culture of competition and consumerism. The church in Corinth preferred its self-centered theology to the Christ-centered gospel of the wider apostolic church. Paul's response in 1 Corinthians, amplified by Thiselton's commentary, becomes a living, practical, transforming word from God for Christians today.

Paul's first letter to the Corinthians was addressed originally to a fledgling mission church in Corinth. Paul's absence from the church had allowed serious problems to arise within the Corinthian community, but the problems that he addresses in this letter do not always seem based in explicitly theological ideas. The brilliance of Paul, though, is that he frames the issues in theological terms and reflects on them in the light of the gospel. Hays identifies and discusses the major theological themes of the letter, as well as issues such as community formation and the rethinking of inherited sociocultural norms and practices, and he offers Paul as a model for ministry.

With keen sensitivity, Marion L. Soards helps readers span the gap between one of the earliest Christian communities with its concerns over Wisdom, in-groups and out-groups, manifestations of the Holy Spirit, Christian behavior, and the resurrection of Christ and the Christian of today. He presents Paul's apocalyptic-eschatological outlook as perhaps a key to unlocking some of the more knotty passages in 1 Corinthians and helps readers realize the nature of that radical theological world view. - from publisher's description.

Firsts Corinthians is without doubt a letter of great importance for the life of the believers in Christ and the development of a healthy ministry. Dr. Shogren give us a commentary that is rich in practical application and at the same time demonstrate how the cultural context plays a factor of major importance in the interpretation of the text. His expertise in New Testament Greek is also one of the great contributions of this commentary but one of the advantages of this book in particular is that he use the transliteration of the Greek words, making this commentary a invaluable resource for pastors and church members and no only for scholar's.Jesus Escudero Kerigma Theological Seminary
