"This commentary on 1 Corinthians is the fruit of many years of teaching and reflection on the appropriate interpretation of the New Testament. The more clearly we can see the situation which the apostle Paul was addressing in his occasional writings, the more clearly we will see the point of what he was trying to say. In spite of the gap that separates the world of the New Testament from our own, if we dig deep enough, we will find again and again a message that resonates with our own experience. This second edition of Nigel Watson's commentary on 1 Corinthians is completely revised and updated, taking into account current Pauline scholarship and applying it to life at the present time."--BOOK JACKET.
