Corinthians : Literary and Theological Commentary

Paul's letters to the Christians in Corinth portray a young church struggling to live out the demands of the gospel amid the life of a thoroughly urban setting. In Reading Corinthians, biblical scholar Charles Talbert helps his reader to grasp what was at stake in the conversations between Paul and the Corinthians. What we find there is not only a word for the struggling faithful in Corinth, but an always truthful word for the church today.

Charles H. Talbert is Distinguished Professor of Religion at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. He is the author of several other commentaries in this series, including Reading Luke, Reading John, and Reading Acts. He is also the author of Romans in the Smyth & Helwys Bible Commentary series
