FORTHCOMING TITLE, ETA SEPTEMBER 2026
This letter of Paul to the Corinthian church touches on some of the heavy challenges facing followers of Jesus throughout the centuries and into today: suffering, persecution, death. But all through his letter, Paul contrasts the competing realities Christians experience—life/death, old/new, true/ false—to encourage his readers, with no juxtaposition more glorious or transformative than the weakness of the crucifixion alongside the power of the resurrection.
This insightful and accessible commentary explores the experience of the Christians in Corinth and the wisdom they needed to hear, and shows how Jesus’ death and resurrection underpin and shape our experience of suffering both now and on the way to life forever. Ideal for Bible study leaders, for clergy and lay preachers, and for personal study.
