Paul addresses issues in First Corinthians that aren't always grounded in explicitly theological problems. Yet he frames them in theological terms and reflects on them in light of the gospel. Now Richard Hays discusses the letter's major theological themes, as well as issues such as community formation and the rethinking of inherited sociocultural norms and practices, offering Paul as a model for ministry.

This is not a verse by verse commentary, but it is extremely helpful as an aid in teaching/preaching preparation. Actually, Hays is such a gifted writer and his commentary flows so nicely that I have found myself wanting to just
read it straight through! I especially appreciated the commentary on 1 Corinthians 11-14. A great work by Dr. Hays!
