First Corinthians is without a doubt a letter of great importance for the life of the believers in Christ and the development of a healthy ministry. Dr. Gary S. Shogren give us a commentary that is rich in practical application and at the same time one that demonstrates how the cultural context plays a factor of major importance in the interpretation of the text. His expertise in New Testament Greek is also one of the great highlights of this commentary, which doesn't represent an obstacle but one of the book advantages instead, in particular because he uses the transliteration of the Greek words, making this commentary an invaluable resource for pastors and church members and not only for scholars.Jesús Escudero Kerigma Theological Seminary
