First Corinthians (Paideia: Commentaries on the New Testament)

In this volume, respected scholar Pheme Perkins examines cultural context and theological meaning in First Corinthians. Students, pastors, and other readers will appreciate the insights that Perkins derives from interrogating the text through multiple perspectives, providing historical, literary, and theological insight offered in this practical commentary. This commentary, like each in the Paideia series, approaches each text in its final, canonical form, proceeding by sense units rather than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Each sense unit is explored in three sections: (1) introductory matters, (2) tracing the train of thought, (3) key hermeneutical and theological questions.
