Find academic sophistication, pastoral sensitivity, and accessibility in the award-winning BECNT series
Paul's first letter to the Corinthians is one of the most important epistles in the New Testament. David Garland's thoughtful commentary draws on extensive research and engages the best of contemporary scholarship while providing a readable study that will be accessible to thoughtful readers as well as students, pastors, and scholars.

He also refers to the work of other commentators and provides extensive notes for further reading and research.

● Detailed interaction with the Greek text
● Extensive research
● Chapter-by-chapter exegesis
● A blend of scholarly depth and readability
● An acclaimed, user-friendly design

Christianity Today Book Award Winner
"A major achievement, Garland's commentary will take its place alongside other 'big' works on 1 Corinthians (notably those of Fee and Thiselton). The author displays an enviable grasp of the cultural challenges raised in the letter as well as an assured familiarity with biblical and Greco-Roman sources and the secondary authorities. At the same time his text is both readable and relevant. This is a further significant contribution to Corinthian studies."
--Paul Barnett, Anglican bishop; teaching fellow, Regent College, Vancouver
"We have come to expect from Garland work that is well researched, wise in its judgments, and instructive for life and thought. This commentary does not disappoint. Garland's work is fully informed and offers sound and useful discussion of this crucial letter. This commentary is a significant and worthwhile achievement."
--Klyne Snodgrass, North Park Theological Seminary (emeritus)
"Garland makes an outstanding contribution to the BECNT series with this scholarly work on 1 Corinthians. Readers will appreciate the thorough attention given to matters of interpretation in this commentary, especially Garland's careful work with the historical and social backgrounds and with the Old Testament and Hellenistic materials that shed light on Paul's letter. The commentary is written with enthusiasm, insight, and genuine wit, so that readers will enjoy as well as profit from studying this volume."
--Marion L. Soards, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary
"This commentary deserves commendation for treating 1 Corinthians in such a way as to make it accessible to pastors and others involved in studying this epistle. Garland avoids falling prey to cataloguing every minor exegetical issue and instead only addresses the main exegetical issues that add to an understanding of the epistle as a whole. This is a commentary that pastors and laity can turn to for years to come as a definitive source."
--Kate C. Donahoe, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
