Books by Philip F Congdon

"Phil has managed to appeal both to the scholar, the pastor, and the untrained Christian who just want to understand First Corinthians." - Charles Bing, PhD "Rare indeed do you find a commentary that is exegetically astute, theologically engaging, pastorally insightful and homiletically valuable. Phil Congdon has provided such a tool to guide pastors and serious students of the scriptures into a rich and robust quest through First Corinthians." - Fred Chay, PhD It is little wonder that, considering the moral and economic climate of Corinth in the first century, this letter is so applicable today. Corinth, with its commercial status, its religious variations, its preoccupation with sex, its emphasis on sports and leisure, its love of knowledge, and its judicial system, has much in common with our modern world. The Christian minister who desires to be both faithful to God's Word and relevant to modern society will find much to draw from in this letter.
