Corinth was an important city, but it had a reputation for moral corruption. Paul had been asked for guidance because of troubles in the church, and in 1 Corinthians, he deals with matters such as personal morality, public worship, divisions in the church, and the resurrection of Jesus. When Paul heard that his own integrity had been questioned, he wrote 2 Corinthians in which he poured out himself, opening a window into his inner life.
This commentary is written by Professor Ralph P. Martin, known for his encyclopedic knowledge of the New Testament as well has his graciousness in dealing with controversial issues.
The Open Your Bible Commentary was written to encourage daily Bible study. Each reading is short, but the content is rich with careful explanation, devotional warmth, and practical relevance. Nearly 100 daily readings let you explore Paul’s two letters to the Corinthian church in depth.
The Open Your Bible Commentary has four great strengths:

* Dependable – it’s written by an amazing group of scholars and trusted pastor-teachers.
* Practical – it’s a rich combination of specific application and encouragement to listen to God for guidance.
The commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians is introduced by an overview, summary, outline, key themes, and relevance of the book for today.
