Perhaps more than any other of Paul's letters, 1 Corinthians gives us insight into the nature of the early Christian church, warts and all---and challenges us to face our unsightliness today. Through Barrett's in-depth analysis, you'll find how the controversial issues discussed by Paul are just as relevant to today's church---whether it's disputes over ''wisdom,'' debates over speaking in tongues, or questions about the resurrection. Like the other volumes in this series, you'll find a Scripture index; references to primary and secondary literature; highlighted key terms and phrases; and introductions to historical, literary, and theological issues. 420 pages, hardcover from Hendrickson.

I got this book from a local christian book in Bangkok. It was very well written. Even though it was written more than 44 years ago, it is still very lucid and packed with good expositions and exegeses. Well worth the price and satisfactory!!1

Barrett brings a rich array of background resources to the commentary. His treatment of the text is reasoned, balanced, and lucidly written. He gives special attention to problematic issues that tend to be slighted in other treatments.
