From the rear cover
The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible enlists leading theologians to read and interpret scripture creedally for the twenty-first century, just as the church fathers, the Reformers, and other orthodox Christians did for their times and places. 1 Corinthians, like each commentary in the series, is designed to serve the church and to demonstrate the continuing intellectual and practical viability of theological interpretation of the Bible.
Praise for 1 Corinthians in the Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible
"The vision of the Brazos series of theological commentaries is once again vindicated in this dazzling work by the distinguished theologian Kimlyn Bender. The radical nature of Paul's apostolate is illuminated on every page by Bender's focus on Paul's Christ-centered message. This commentary gleams with passion reflecting that of the great apostle as he risks everything to give his whole self for the life of the body of Christ. I particularly urge this book upon preachers looking for larger vistas of proclamation."
--Fleming Rutledge, author of The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ
"Kimlyn Bender's commentary both explains and honors Paul's self-description as an apostle: one commissioned by the risen Christ to bear a Spirit-empowered witness to the identity and meaning of Christ's work, an identity and meaning that transcends Paul's own cultural and historical context. The commentary makes it clear how Paul's testimony to the cross and resurrection of Christ challenges the local church--and not only in ancient Corinth but in every time and culture--to decide to follow the way of Jesus Christ. Throughout, Bender does well to keep out of the way in order to let the reader receive the full force of Paul's apostolic preaching and his call to respond to the gospel by living a life of suffering witness."
