Very Old Chap

I have used this commentary in my studies for 1 Corinthians only and it is fantastic (I have not looked at 2 Corinthians as yet so my review is purely based upon 1 Cor.). BWIII's work is complemented by this book as 1 Corinthians is riddled with rhetoric as most readers will know. His understanding of 1:10-17 is excellent (pp94-105) and his cross overs with other Greco-Roman works is great (throughout). There will be some sections you may not agree with. I personally found his thoughts on head coverings interesting but not convincing (pp232-240), but he may well be correct. I was glad I read his perspective all the same! I found this tome complemented Fee's work fantastically.

As with Keener, BWIII is at his best when developing a picture of social life in the 1st Century Roman Empire. He does engage with the Greek often but if you are someone whom is a Greek 'nut' then you may be better off picking up Thistleton. I have to say though that if you are seriously studying 1 Corinthians be sure to purchase Fee, BWIII, Thistleton, and Garland. Those are my top four on this book in no particular order.

I also find that you will often get a different opinion on many passages throughout the NT in BWIII's numerous titles under the banner of 'Socio-Rhetorical'. This is welcomed as too many scholars today are not adding anything of value to discussions.

I purchased this work to complete my last project in graduate school which I thought was going to be burdensome. To my delight, the set up of the book and how the massive amount of material was presented turned my project into a joyful and enlightening experience. I gained so much more knowledge than expected and aced the course!!!

An interesting perspective on St. Paul's writing to Corinth. I learned a lot about the style of Paul in communicating with a difficult church. The author uses understanding of the skill of Rhetoric as practiced in the first century to bring new insights.

This was the first of all of Prof Dr Ben Witherington's commentaries which I read, and by which I became captivated by his depth of understanding and style of writing. A good place to start, I'd say.

This book opened my eyes and gave me a different point view of the two books. I would like to see if this autor has other books.

Mr. Witherington's commentary does an excellent job of providing contextual details that enhance your understanding of this crucial Pauline letter. His introductory section establishing the social context of the Corinthian church is extremely useful. I highly recommend it to anyone.
