In a day when the church is mocked and ridiculed, those who follow Jesus Christ need to ask, "Why is this happening? Why has our witness to the gospel been compromised?" No book in the Bible is better to answer that question than 1 Corinthians. Paul wrote a letter that, if heeded, will show the beauty and attractiveness of the church and Christ, of the saints and the Savior, in a day when people were impressed with Jesus--usually a Jesus of their creation and not the Jesus of the Bible--but not his church.

Exalting Jesus in 1 Corinthians is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. Edited by David Platt, Daniel L. Akin, and Tony Merida, this commentary series takes a Christ-centered approach to expositing each book of the Bible. Each chapter explains and applies key passages, providing helpful outlines for study and teaching.

This practical and easy-to-read commentary is designed to help the reader see Christ in 1 Corinthians. More devotional than academic, the expositions are presented as sermons and divided into chapters that conclude with a "Reflect & Discuss" section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation.
