The third volume in the Concordia Commentary series. Beginning with a literal translation and textual notes on the original Greek text, it expounds on the theology of the epistle for the benefit of the church today. The central theme of this commentary is that 'the word of the cross' (1:18) is the basis for the church's unity (ch. 1-4), holiness (ch. 5-7), freedom (ch. 8-10), worship (ch. 11-14), and resurrection hope (ch. 15-16). It is particularly strong in it exegetical treatment of key passages that involve doctrines and practices that have been items of contention among modern Christian denominations.
