An Exposition of the first Epistle to the Corinthians

Charles Hodge was not only a leading theologian of the nineteenth-century, but also one of the finest commentators on the New Testament text. His work on I Corinthians, first published in 1857, continues to enlighten students of the Bible and to elicit compliments from scholars. An introduction discusses the city of Corinth, Paul's missionary labor there, the state of the Corinthian church, the date of this epistle, its contents, and its importance. The author's unique ability to draw out the theological implications of Paul's epistles and to relate the parts to the whole - to keep the forest in view even while analyzing the trees - are clearly evident in this commentary. Charles Hodge (1797-1878) taught New Testament and theology at Princeton Theological Seminary for over fifty years.
