Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 1987 | Series: New International Commentary on the New Testament
Incorporating the best elements of previous works, this replacement volume in the New International Commentary on the New Testament offers a readable, verse-by-verse exposition of the English and Greek texts of First Corinthians. Fee strives to show how each part of the text fits into the historical-literary context, and to exegete the book from a single, consistent point of view. At the same time he is concerned with the texts relevance for today.

Outstanding commentary February 27, 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is simply one of the best commentaries I have ever read. I do not agree with his pentecostal or evangelical feminists views, but the quality of writing, exegesis, and argumentation are clearly superior to what you will find in most commentaries. Fee does a particularly good job of tracing the flow of thought. He doesn't just interpret verses as isolated, unrelated units of thought. His treatments of chapters 7 and 8 and 11:17-34 really changed the way I viewed this passages.

More mature than Garland July 13, 2006
Format:Paperback
One of my principle in pick up a commentary is when everthing equal, the newer is the better one. So when I planned to bought one commentary on 1 Corinthians, I prefered Garland's more than Fee's. Both come from a conservative point of view. They have almost the same size (Fee: 904; Garland: 896) and the same prize (Fee US$ 54; Garland US$ 50). Both also get very positive reviews. The different is Fee wrote his 1 Corinthians commentary in 1987 while Garland wrote in 2003, so there is almost twenty years gap between them.

Then when I planned to gave an expositionary preaching from 1 Corinthians 15, I knew that I need Fee's as a comparison. What a surprised! I find that at least for 1 Corinthians 15, I gain more insight from Fee than from Garland. For me, Fee's argument is more mature, and he is also braver and firmer when he must to state something. Garland make Fee as one of his sparring partner but when he disagrees with Fee, it seems to me that he do not give enough power to send his counter attack.

Both are good, really! But now if I must choose one commentary in 1 Corinthians, my choice is clear. For this time, the old recipe is the better one.

NB. I am also skimming Thiselton's work. This one is a huge commentary but at least from the preacher's point of view I must agree with D.A. Carson that "I do not have a good feel for it yet." Too many debate in it. If you need a third choice for 1 Corinthians, I will recommend Ancient Christian Commentary Series produced by Gerald Bray (ed.). You will be surprised with what you can get inside.

Format:Paperback
Dr. Gordon Fee's commentary on 1 Corinthians is one of the best commenataries on one of the most problomatic books in the NT. Scholars often debate the issues of 1 Corinthians such as the issue of the sexual immoral man in chapter five, the sexual purity of the Corinthians themselves in chapter six, the issues of the Lord's supper in chapter eleven, and the gifts of tongues and prophecy in chapters twelve through fourteen.

Dr. Fee dives into the book of 1 Corinthians with careful exegesis of the texts. He is a charismatic in his own practice but he is often critical of charismatic abuses within the spiritual gifts context of the book. Fee is also one who is not ashamed to put the words of those who might disagree with him in this work. All Greek words are transliterated for those who do not know Greek.

Overall this is a solid work on 1 Corinthians. While it lacks the expository outlines of Dr. John MacArthur's commentaries, it remains one of the deepest and best I've read on 1 Corinthians to date.

Gordon Fee definitely knows his material and does a good job of helping the reader identify with the author and audience. The only down side is that it is a bit wordy.

It is good but fall short on egalitarian
What Fee wrote on 1 Timothy 2;11-15 and here 1 Corint 14:33-38 is egalitarian in his opinion. I don't believe in egalit view and stronly disagree with those who hold this view. Read more
