Commentary
Communicator's Commentary, The: 1, 2 Corinthians
Overview: Because of Paul's broad ethical and theological allusions in addressing specific problems, the author says, a study of these letters to the Corinthians can be of immense value for the church today. The author wrote this commentary during the time he was pastor of a large church in the center of a bustling secular city not unlike Corinth. In this crucible, his skills as master expositor were exercised to the fullest in probing the mind of Paul and his timeless advice on:
- how to get along with others
- sex, marriage, and divorce
- how to be a good leader
- learning from the past
- how to deal with critics
- seeing the spiritual in the secular
- worship and the gifts of the Spirit
Christian communicators will find the author's stirring and moving exposition a model of insight and clarity for exposing the profound truths woven through the Corinthian letters, from Paul's reprimands against immorality to his powerful chapter of love. As Christians amid today's sophisticated paganism, says the author, our goal must be to live these basic truths by focusing on the love of God, and on being shining examples of that love as "ambassadors of Christ" in the world around us. We are indebted to the author for inspiring us toward that goal with this highly practical commentary.
