Horsley, Richard A.

Abingdon New Testament Commentaries: 1 Corinthians Richard A. Horsley - U.S.A. Abingdon Press 1998 - 240tr. Paperback 23cm - Abingdon New Testament Commentaries .

This commentary highlights both the socio-political context of 1 Corinthians and the clash of significantly different religious viewpoints represented by Paul and the congregation he had founded in Corinth. In particular, Richard Horsley shows that this letter provides a window through which one may view the tension between the Corinthians' interest in cultivating individual spirituality and the apostle's concern for building up a social-religious community devoted to the common advantage, for the flourishing both of personal dignity and a humanizing solidarity.
