1 Corinthians — Reformation Commentary on Scripture, NT Volume 9A

In his first letter to the church in Corinth, Paul writes, "I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day" (1 Cor 15:3-4 ESV).

Throughout the church's history, Christians have turned to the epistles of the Apostle Paul in order to understand the essentials of the Christian faith and discern how to navigate the complexities of following Christ. Among those who gained wisdom from Paul were the Protestant Reformers, who found inspiration and instruction about how to lead the church of their day.

In this volume of the Reformation Commentary on Scripture, Scott Manetsch guides readers through a diversity of Reformation-era commentary on the first of Paul's letters to the Corinthians. Readers will encounter familiar voices and lesser-known figures from a variety of theological traditions—Lutherans, Reformed, Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics—much of which appears here for the first time in English.
