Sinopsis

The community Paul founded in Corinth gave him both joy and grief, for he was to encounter problems there of disunity, sin, and arrogance including the rejection of his own apostolic authority by some of his flock. His two epistles to the Corinthians come straight from the heart, as he appeals to them to live in peace, in righteousness, in generosity, and not to resist his God-given authority. His Corinthian correspondence abides as a lasting legacy and a challenge for all churches everywhere.About the Orthodox Bible Study Companion Series:This commentary was written for your grandmother and for your plumber. That is, it was written for the average layperson, for the nonprofessionaláwho feels a bit intimidated by the presence of copious footnotes, longábibliographies, and all those other things which so enrich the lives ofáacademics.Working from a literal translation of the original Greek, this commentary examines the text section by section, explaining its meaning in everydayálanguage. Written from an Orthodox and patristic perspective, it maintainsáa balance between the devotional and the exegetical, feeding both theáheart and the mind.
