| Summary | "The Expositor's Bible: The First Epistle to the Corinthians" by Marcus Dods is a comprehensive theological examination written in the late 19th century. The text serves as a commentary on the First Epistle to the Corinthians, highlighting the challenges and moral dilemmas faced by the early Christian Church in a culturally and ethically complex city. It explores themes of unity, the nature of preaching, and the conflicts arising from diverse interpretations of the faith. The opening of the book provides a backdrop to Paul's ministry in Corinth, detailing the city's historical and social context. Dods describes Corinth as a hub of commerce and immorality, which influenced the behavior of its inhabitants, including early Christians. The Apostle Paul, upon learning of various factions and moral issues within the church, addresses these in his letter, affirming the need for unity and emphasizing the significance of Christ's teachings. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Epistle's themes, including the importance of divine wisdom over worldly philosophy, and the necessity of a coherent Christian identity amidst conflicting views.
