Commentary on St. Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, vol. 2

This volume continues Godet’s commentary on 1 Corinthians. He devotes significant attention to Paul’s advice to the church in Corinth regarding the role of women in public worship, the celebration of the Lord’s Supper, and spiritual gifts—issues which remain at the center of church controversies 2,000 years later. Godet closes his commentary with a detailed exposition of chapter 15 and the resurrection of the body. This volume also includes chapters on the historicity of 1 Corinthians, the ecclesiastical offices of the church in Corinth, and the criticism of the text.
