psychological detail, fine art, and first, useful tool
I am close to retiring as a scondary school principal and I was as impressed when I read this fine book the second time as I was the first time through. As a once English teacher, I presume to say that this author is an important writer, and an invaluable social critic as well. The detail she provided of this boy's psyche are invaluable to us and, when we think about it, we should have inferred ...

The Redneck Riviera

The Truth Hurts
These are scary times. "Make love not war" may have been the mantra of the 1960's and 70's, but gone are the days of mild marijuana and Boone's Farm Apple wine, Deadheads and Woodstock. Now teens attend "Raves", and the drugs of choice are ecstasy and meth. Ignorance really is the mother of all prejudice, not bliss. This is what a divorced mother named Dolly discovers in The Redneck Riviera. Not ...

Johnny Cash Reading the Complete New Testament (Unabridged)

The Voice of the Man in Black
Here's what absolutely amazes me about Johnny Cash -- and the reason that, after more than 30 years in journalism, I have to admit I still have such an emotional reaction to this country singer -- is that his famous struggles with temptation and faith have directly crossed over to the next generation. There's something as honest as a razor blade about Cash. His "man in black" garb clearly ...

Enlargement of the Heart
Enlargement of the Heart is a wonderful overview of the theology of Saint Silouan the Athonite and Elder Sophrony concerning the nature and purpose of existence as presented by Archimandrite Zacharias at a series of lectures in 2001. As noted above, this text is a transcription of those presentations and includes the question and answer sessions. Archimandrite Zacharias is a spiritual son of ...

1 Corinthians: Godly Solutions for Church Problems (MacArthur Bible Studies)

John MacArthur

Thomas Nelson, 2001

Get this, even if you don't plan to buy the entire set
Yes! A very insighful work that does not shy away from the tough issue presented in 1 Corinthians (people following men instead of God, sleeping around in the church, slander and gossip and jealousies, coveting...). The only part of this work I had any trouble with was the cessionaist approach MacArthur takes towards the gifts of the Spirit (12-14). Then, again, it is good to read the thoughts of ...

Definitive Works Grapples with Spiritual Gifts
I do not always agree with D.A. Carson (although I mostly do), but I always admire and appreciate him. He is a true scholar who tempers his great mind with a heart for God. Dr. Carson has written a masterpiece! This volume is an intelligent and definitive grappling with a passage that focuses upon spiritual gifts: I Corinthians 12-14. He devastates the non-charismatic viewpoint that claims the ...

Corinthian Books, 2000

A MUST READ
FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ANTEBELLUM CULTURE AND THE CIVIL WAR, THIS IS A MUST READ. EVEN FOR THOSE WHO AREN'T A STUDENT OF THE ERA, "MARY'S WORLD" IS STILL A FASCINATING GLIMPSE OF THE LIFE OF AN ELITE SOUTHERN PLANTER FAMILY. TAKEN FROM FAMILY PAPERS, THE STORY OF THE PRINGLES IS A FIRST HAND ACCOUNT OF THEIR INNERMOST THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS. THE READER GETS TO WATCH WILLIAM BULL AND MARY ...

Richard Côté, in City of Heroes, takes his readers through the terrifying darkness of that night with the sounds and destruction of the earthquake and fires; he then follows the relief and rebuilding efforts of the next months.

Greenbelt : A Nostalgic Return to a Texas Childhood

James H. Man

Corinthian Books, 2001

lively, genuine, and entirely too short
Here we have Jim Man's portrait of a summerful of visits to a lake house in north Texas of 1972 (age 12). The outstanding quality of Man's writing is its credibility: on a topic almost hand-crafted as a foundation for tall tales, I'm darned if I don't believe just about everything he says. I too grew up in the 1970s in the West, and we did in fact use to shoot at one another with BB guns, dig ...

What a great book!
I have read a lot of N T Wright but never a commentary. I purchased this little commentary on 1 Corinthians for a series I am teaching through the book using very technical commentaries. I feel like I have found a real treasure. Wright is a world class scholar but this series is written for anyone - even a brand new Christian - to understand. I am sure I will purchase all of this series. No ...

Another Great One from Tom Wright
Tom Wright (aka N T Wright)is the most insightful and unique conservative scholar to come along. He has shared with us his great gift of, not only his theology, but his whimsical writing, anectdotes, story telling and of course the most important of all correct interpretation and translation of the text itself. Wright is not only a theologian, but is as much a historian. I recommend the entire ...

Better even than shrimp and grits!
I fell in love with McClellanville twenty years ago when I was first exploring the coast of my adopted home of South Carolina. I ate my first grits in the home of a McClellanville resident who invited me to have supper with his family after having met me on the shrimp docks only a half-hour before. That's the way McClellanville folk are. "Southern hospitality" may not have been invented in ...

Conflict and Community in Corinth: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians

Ben Witherington III

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1995

Commentary about People, for People
Ben Witherington's work exemplifies the goals of good socio-rhetorical commentary--describing people, where they live, how they talk, what they do. The tools he uses help us fill in the gaps that scripture leaves out and give us a fuller picture of the New Testament world, especially Corinth and Paul's church there. Because I am a pastor whose job is a people job, his work makes my job easier ...

David E. Garland

Baker Academic, 2003

the best first corinthians commentary that I have encountered
Several years ago (before Garland's book came out) I did a fairly detailed study over about 6 months on the book of 1 Corinthians. I relied fairly heavily on the commentaries by Thiselton and also by Fee. In the subsequent years, I frequently re-read sections of both commentaries. Recently I wanted to get a more clear understanding of the controversial passages about headcovering and women's ...

Zondervan, 2000

An excellent commentary.
Dr. Hafemann's Second Corinthians is an unmatched source for understanding Paul's letter. The biggest strength of Hafemann's ministry is that it is led first and foremost by his desire to build up the followers of Christ, a goal he achieves through the teaching and preaching of the Word of God. Dr. Hafemann makes no apology towards his assurance that the promises of God are real and eternally ...

Gregory Lockwood

Concordia Publishing House, 2000

A Scholarly, Pastoral Commentary of 1 Corinthians
A large part of a church body's theology will be reflected in how that church body views Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. In this 16-chapter book of the Bible, Paul addresses many topics that still concern the church today. Within this letter, Paul writes about Holy Communion, the Resurrection of the Dead on the Last Day, the role of women in the church, the individual Christian's ...
