“David Garland is rightly known as a balanced and judicious commentator. I have found the first edition of his 1 Corinthians commentary to be one of the best available commentaries on that letter, and this up-to-date new edition affirms that verdict even more.”
Craig S. Keener, F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies, Asbury Seminary
“David Garland has been a trusted voice in New Testament studies for decades, and I have turned to his 1 Corinthians commentary too many times to count. With a fresh look at the biblical text and significant engagement with recent scholarship, Garland has made a great commentary even better with this second edition.”
Nijay K. Gupta, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary
“Simply put, David Garland is one of the finest commentary writers of our generation. He consistently integrates first-rate scholarly research with theological discernment, hermeneutical savvy, and pastoral sensitivity, all presented in an eminently readable way. The only thing better than a Garland commentary is an updated and enhanced Garland commentary. This one on 1 Corinthians will constitute a ‘go-to,’ gold standard on the book for years to come.”
George H. Guthrie, professor of New Testament, Regent College, Vancouver
