The First Epistle to the Corinthians

• Author: Marcus Dods
• Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
• Publication Date: 1891
• Pages: 399

In this volume, Marcus Dods offers a practical exposition of 1 Corinthians, examining Paul, the Corinthians, and the culture surrounding them.

The most varied of Paul’s epistles demands in its expositor a combination of qualities which is very rarely met with. He who would read it aright from beginning to end must be theologian, casuist, and historian all in one; he must be equally at home in the ancient and the modern Church, in ancient and in modern life. There is probably no man living in whom these characters are more at one than Dr. Dods . . .

This is an interesting book, not merely in respect of its professed object, but also as giving the reader a glimpse into a scholar’s workshop.
