“As a habit, I rarely read straight through many commentaries (whether this is good or bad I don’t know). Generally I bounce around quite a bit. But since I was signed up to review this one on 1 Corinthians, I naturally read it through. In doing so, I discovered the academic depth that Gorman brings to his readers. He is not afraid as a scholar to tackle the weighty issues that 1 Corinthians brings though for some, this might mean a second reading of various sections. But Gorman is also not shy at hoisting up 1 Corinthians as a Pauline letter that has tremendous practicality for any church. To be the church, we need to wrestle not only with Paul’s theology, but the necessary praxis of it as well. And I feel that this commentary by Gorman helps us do just that. Thus, anyone who decides to dive into this 1 Corinthian study will be glad they did.”
