This extensive volume presents, in published form, the comprehensive commentary work of E. Earle Ellis on Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. At the time of his passing, Ellis had been diligently engaged for numerous years in the preparation of a volume for the International Critical Commentary on the epistle. Regrettably, Ellis was unable to complete the volume before his demise, and he specifically directed that it should not be finalized. Consequently, Terry Wilder has taken the initiative to present Ellis's profound exegetical insights in the form of his completed commentary sections on 1 Corinthians, with minimal editorial intervention. In addition to collating Ellis's detailed critical commentary on 1 Corinthians chapters 1-13, with edited notes on chapter 14, Wilder has also accomplished an original editorial essay that offers a synthesis of Ellis's notes and thoughts on chapters 15 and 16. Thoroughly examining the letter's address, salutation, and thanksgiving, as well as Paul's words on true and false wisdom, sexual relationships, liberties, boundaries, and the regulation of church services, Ellis's final work emerges as a vital resource for the study of a fundamental New Testament text.
