| Summary: | First Corinthians is a letter that deals with many issues concerning living in a Christian community, and therefore a promising guide for matters that concern churches today. As the title of the two-volume work indicates the body metaphor is seen as characteristic for the apostle's vision. The authors engage in a fruitful dialogue with the letter, even though its historical background could have received more attention, just like the function of the chapters on cross and resurrection. But of course the intention of the writers was a theological commentary with ecclesiology as its centre. (English) |
