Decent in places. Far from thorough in others.
I usually try to grab some older commentaries to read with newer ones when I'm preaching through a book. There are drawbacks, of course. Many of the crises facing their generation make their way into the commentary - and few contemporary crises are dealt with. For instance, Chapter 16 dealt more with the rise of the industrial revolution than the text while his comments about homosexuality in Chapter 6 weren't much.
Thankfully, God's Word never changes. So, the meaning of the text remains constant.
There were times Dods was very thorough. I grabbed several really solid quotes from him. There were other times he skipped things.
If I preach 1 Corinthians again, I probably would not reuse this book. I'm not saying it's bad. But there are better choices.
