Free Download Barry N. Danylak, "Paul and Secular Singleness in 1 Corinthians 7 "
English | ISBN: 1009373889 | 2024 | 364 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Paul’s discussion of marriage and singleness in 1 Corinthians 7 has long presented exegetical challenges, beginning with the chapter’s opening statement: ‘It is good for a man not to touch a woman.’ Interpreters continue to debate whether the ascetic language of the statement reflects the views of Paul or the Corinthians. They also debate the motivations for the rise of an ascetic movement in Corinth. In this ground-breaking study, Barry N. Danylak offers a fresh solution to these conundra. Using evidence from Egyptian census papyri, he demonstrates the prevalence of secular singleness in Roman urban environments. He also draws on classic Greek marriage debates to argue that the Corinthians’ disposition likely reflected an Epicurean perspective of secular singleness; and that Paul himself was responsible for the ‘touch’ language as a rhetorical adaptation in his response to the Corinthians’ question. Combining fresh evidence with attentive analysis, Danylak’s study thus proposes a viable resolution to these long-standing exegetical challenges.

The letter of 2 Corinthians reveals a powerful debate between the apostle Paul and a shadowy group of opponents, along with the local church members who supported them. Paul records a range of emotional extremes as he defends his doctrine, ministry, and character to this beloved yet troublesome congregation. In his response to the conflict, Paul develops a momentous theological message: God’s power is at work in human beings, not in their power but in their weakness.

English | 2017 | pages: 504 | ISBN: 1414393717 | EPUB | 7,3 mb
Corinth, a diverse, cosmopolitan city sitting at a strategic center of commerce for both Greece and the wider Roman Empire, was known for its decadence and wealth. In his commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians, Chuck Swindoll explores how Paul took the Corinthian church to task for taking on the character of the city instead of the character of Christ. As Chuck shows, the message of Paul to the Corinthians is greatly needed by the Church today.

Free Download Harm W. Hollander, "Tradition and Rhetoric in Pauls Correspondence with the Corinthians"
English | ISBN: 1527546322 | 2020 | 237 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This collection of essays deals with a number of important words and passages in the apostle Pauls letters to the Corinthians. It clarifies Pauls ways of defending himself against the attacks of some Corinthian Christians and his attempts to persuade his readers to keep on living according to the law of God. The analyses centre on answering two questions. First, what does Paul take from the ideas that were in vogue in his time, the Graeco-Roman, Hellenistic period? Secondly, what particular twist does he give to these traditional concepts and motifs in order to persuade his readers in Corinth effectively? The analyses produce a number of new and surprising results, and will appeal to New Testament scholars and students, clergymen, and all those interested in the ideas of the apostle Paul and in Christian belief and behaviour.

Free Download Leon L. Morris, "1 Corinthians"
English | 2008 | pages: 238 | ISBN: 0830842373 | EPUB | 1,7 mb
The cosmopolitan city of Corinth was the site of one of Paul’s greatest evangelistic successes. Yet despite Paul’s having founded the church there, it was full of contention and strife. Dissension ran the gamut from questions about leadership to incest. Some believers were taking fellow Christians to court. There were questions about marriage, celibacy, food offered to idols, public worship and spiritual gifts. In response Paul offered to them, and to us, some of his most profound thinking on the body of Christ, love and the resurrection. Leon Morris, with his characteristic clarity and pastoral heart, sets the issues before us and offers perspectives on the letter’s perennial relevance. The original, unrevised text of this volume has been completely retypeset and printed in a larger, more attractive format with the new cover design for the series.

Written by some of the world’s most distinguished evangelical scholars, these twenty volumes offer clear, reliable and relevant explanations of every book in the New Testament.
