1 Corinthians
This
commentary highlights both the socio-political context of 1 Corinthians
and the clash of significantly different religious viewpoints
represented by Paul and the congregation he had founded in Corinth. In
particular, Richard Horsley shows that this letter provides a window
through which one may view the tension between the Corinthians' interest
in cultivating individual spirituality and the apostle's concern for
building up a social-religious community devoted to the common
advantage, for the flourishing both of personal dignity and a humanizing
solidarity.
