EBTC 1 Corinthians

1 Corinthians reveals Paul’s pastoral wisdom is rooted in the Old Testament.

David I. Starling situates Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians within his larger theological vision. Paul uses the storyline of Scripture to address the Corinthians’ questions and problems. And the Bible’s story helps us bridge the Corinthians’ circumstances and our own, so that we might faithfully inhabit our own context in redemptive history.
