The Theology of the First Letter to the Corinthians (New Testament Theology) by Furnish, Victor Paul published by Cambridge University Press

New Testament Theology

by Victor Paul Furnish

This study shows that the common view of 1 Corinthians as mainly about "ethics" and therefore of little importance for "theology" needs correcting. Many other studies of the letter focus mainly on the details of the Corinthian situation and the moral teachings Paul conveyed to his congregation. While not ignoring these, Furnish's primary aim is to explore and clarify the theological orientation of 1 Corinthians, and what it can contribute to an understanding of Paul as a theologian. Furnish concludes that 1 Corinthians is important for both ethics and theology.

Reviews

[Dr. Vince Maltempi, D.Min. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great commentary edition in this series.

[Mark Mathur · Rating 3 out of 5]

The amount of theology the books in these series seem to find in the NT is minimal. Not really worth the read.
