This addition to the excellent Welwyn Series helpfully relates the difficult issues and hot topics in 1 Corinthians to the situation in Corinth, then gives principles for today.
Ellsworth captures the flow of the whole of Paul's letter, showing how his arguments develop. The concise summaries of the main teachings in the letter and its penetrating analysis of the cultural climate of Corinth, clearly set out the main principles on interpreting the difficult chapters.
