This award-winning commentary by Gordon Fee, originally published in 1987, has been lauded as the best study available of Paul's theologically rich first letter to the Corinthians.Writing primarily for pastors, teachers, and students, Fee offers a readable exposition of 1 Corinthians that clearly describes the meaning of Paul's ideas and their larger theological relevance.More scholarly matters, including Fee's considerable interaction with other commentators, are found in the footnotes.In this second edition, Fee has updated the text to make it even more accessible, including giving all biblical citations in full so that readers don't have to look up references.Fee also includes a full bibliography of everything written on 1 Corinthians up until 2011, providing a wide range of resources for further study.
