David I. Starling situates Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians within his larger theological vision. Paul uses the storyline of Scripture to address the Corinthians' questions and problems. The Bible's story helps us bridge the Corinthians' circumstances and our own, so that we might faithfully inhabit our own context in redemptive history.

The Evangelical Biblical Theology Commentary (EBTC) series locates each biblical book within redemptive history and illuminates its unique theological contributions. All EBTC volumes feature informed exegetical treatment of the biblical book and thorough discussion of its most important theological themes in relation to the canon--all in a style that is useful and accessible to students of Scripture.
