5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding commentary, February 27, 1999
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the Best Commentary on 1 Corinthians To Date, October 16, 2005
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Commentary on 1 Corinthians, August 24, 2005
By SLS (Phoenix, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
I have thoroughly enjoyed this commentary by Gordon Fee. Fee does an excellent job of combining all the elements of an exegetical commentary that make it worthwhile (historical-culture contexts, grammatical, linguistics and textual issues, a fair and balanced assortment of a variety of interpretations of any given passage, (and even some applicational suggestions). This is a commentary designed for both scholars as well as laymen. Fee's methodology should be emulated by all those who write serious Biblical commentaries. Anyone desiring to do serious study of 1 Corinthians should include Fee's commentary in their repetoire. Very simply, this is an outstanding commentary by an outstanding New Testament scholar. I would recommend this commentary without any reservation whatsover.

4.0 out of 5 stars 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

With one foot in theological knowledge and the other in the pentacostal tradition, Gordon Fee gives us an excellent balanced commentaries of the letter to the Corinthians.
