- Title
First Corinthians: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary.
- Authors
Goodrich, John K.
- Abstract
This commentary is a welcome addition to the scholarly literature available on 1 Corinthians and is the most detailed treatment of it since Anthony Thiselton's NIGTC volume in 2000. The commentary begins with the author's original translation of the letter, followed by an introduction with several essays on preliminary issues. Fitzmyer's interpretations can be eclectic, with moments of originality and conventionalism. Unfortunately, he routinely mirror-reads the text, so that he interprets Paul's assertions as direct reflections of the situation in Corinth. In its entirety, the commentary remains a very fine contribution, with the introductory essays and section summaries being especially strong. This volume is recommended for any interested student, pastor, or scholar.
