Incorporating the best elements of previous works, this replacement volume in the New International Commentary on the New Testament offers a readable, verse-by-verse exposition of the English and Greek texts of First Corinthians. Fee strives to show how each part of the text fits into the historical-literary context, and to exegete the book from a single, consistent point of view. At the same time he is concerned with the texts relevance for today.
ReviewJournal of the Evangelical Theological Society
"Fee has given us a paradigm of what a commentary should be. Even where one might disagree, no one -- layperson, pastor, scholar, or student -- will find Fee's volume a disappointment."
Anthony C. Thiselton
--University of Nottingham
"An impressively thorough commentary, which offers both judicious comment and useful documentation. . . . It deserves to rank as one of the leading commentaries on 1 Corinthians."
Journal of Biblical Literature
"This is an excellent commentary. Writing in the best tradition of evangelical scholarship, Fee has produced the most thorough interpretation of 1 Corinthians to have appeared in English in this generation."
Bibliotheca Sacra
"A model of how commentaries should be written. . . . Highly recommended."
