Carson's work on 1 Corinthians 12-14 is a perfect example of exegetical thoroughness and pastoral sensitivity. He addresses the issues in the text with incredible care and seems to anticipate all the questions the reader would have. He takes into account the immediate context (1 Corinthians) and the wider biblical context (Acts, in particular). The last chapter contains excellent practical examples and counsel. (

Good exposition of 1 Corinthians 12-14 as it relates to the issue of spiritual gifts and especially the charismatic gifts. Whether you agree with all of his conclusions he has put together a thoughtful discussion of the text and it's implications on the current day church. (
