Book Synopsis 1 Corinthians by : James D. G. Dunn
Book excerpt: "1 Corinthians 'takes the lid off' a New Testament church in a way that no other writing does. We begin to see how Christianity established itself and what it meant to be Christian, to be the church in a Mediterranean city in the middle of the first century. The church in Corinth was a very mixed group, with several differing views and practices which put considerable strains on their common life. Dunn looks at how Paul dealt with these tensions in his letter, and how that letter has become in effect a testing ground for different hermeneutical techniques and theories, testifying to 1 Corinthians' continuing theological value."--
