1 Corinthians
Description
"Conzelmann has a genious for brevity, and those familiar with Corinthians will generally read with great profit his incisive judgements....English speakers are indeed fortunate to have Conzelmann made available...first-rate."
--Raymond E. Brown, S.S.
"The Hermeneia series has established itself among the most useful tools available for biblical research, whether by professionals or by laypersons. These commentaries present solid scholarship, but the editors have not been afraid to include some fresh, even venturesome interpretations. Excellence in content is matched by handsome design and production; the books are a pleasure to use."
--Wayne A. Meeks
