Exalting Jesus in 1 Corinthians is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Each chapter explains and applies key passages, providing helpful outlines for study and teaching.

This practical and easy-to-read commentary is designed to help the reader see Christ in 1 Corinthians. More devotional than academic, the expositions are presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a "Reflect & Discuss" section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation.

The CCE series will include 47 volumes when complete; this volume is written by Daniel L. Akin and James Merritt.
