First Corinthians (Macarthur New Testament Commentary)

Information on First Corinthians from the publisher:

This New Testament commentary series reflects this objective of explaining and applying Scripture. Some commentaries are primarily linguistic, others are mostly theological, and some are mainly homiletical. This one is basically explanatory, or expository. It is not linguistically technical, but deals with linguistics when this seems helpful to proper interpretation. It is not theologically expansive, but focuses on the major doctrines in each text and on how they relate to the whole of Scripture. It is not primarily homiletical, though each unit of thought is generally treated as one chapter, with a clear outline and logical flow of thought. Most truths are illustrated and applied with other Scripture. After establishing the context of a passage, I have tried to follow closely the writer's development and reasoning.

Description of John F. Macarthur, author of First Corinthians:

John Macarthur is known for his very careful and conservative interpretation of scripture. This volume on 1st Corinthians continues that conservative line. He approaches the theological questions put forth by Paul, interpreting them within a Dispensational framework. He denies the possibility of modern uses of the spiritual gifts while affirming those gifts given to all Christians. This commentary is good for any teacher or lay person interested in 1 Corinthians.
