 Fitzmyer's commentary demonstrates depth of learning and engages a broad spectrum of foreign scholarship often overlooked by many Anglo-American evangelical scholars. For the average pastor looking for the optimal blend of superior exegesis and hermeneutic reflection I still regard Gordon Fee's (1987) commentary as unsurpassed, with David Garland's (2003) serving as a more recent second choice. For robust scholarly thoroughness Thiselton (2000) and Schrage (1991-2001) remain standouts. Yet for a blend of more concise yet solid scholarly assessment drawing from broader waters, Fitzmyer's work is a worthy contribution to the field. Belongs to SeriesAnchor Bible (32 - 2008 Version)
In this volume, Joseph A. Fitzmyer provides a new commentary on one of the most important and beloved books of the Bible. A biblical masterpiece and a seminal contribution to Christian theology, First Corinthians was written by St. Paul to the congregation at Corinth in response to a letter asking him for clarification of some of his teachings. In it, Paul discusses the basic tenets of Christian faith, including the Lord's Supper and the Resurrection, and addresses questions about marriage, celibacy, and other down-to-earth matters of moral conduct and Christian living. It also contains Paul's memorable definition of Christian love. No library descriptions found. |
