“For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ." -1 Corinthians 3:11

The New American Commentary series is an exceptionally acclaimed resource for ministers and Bible students who want to understand and expound the Scriptures. Each volume includes:

• Commentary based on the New International Version.
• NIV text printed in the body of the commentary.
• Sound scholarly methodology reflecting capable research in the original languages.
• Interpretation emphasizing the theological unity of each book and Scripture as a whole.
• Readable and applicable exposition.

Mark Taylor's commentary on 1 Corinthians looks at Paul's missionary journey to Corinth where he planted a church and nurtured the new believers for approximately eighteen months. Taylor pays careful attention to the nuances of the English translation (NIV), the Greek text, and the units of meaning that are vital to interpreting this letter. He presents with clarity the range of scholarly opinion regarding the issues in 1 Corinthians and then makes a case for his own views.

This review is strictly for the Kindle format and does not concern the content of the book. My 5 stars is simply for the ease of navigation.

As a pastor I use Kindle and Logos for digital references. Kindle versions of reference works and commentaries are often very difficult to navigate and not worth the time or effort even at a substantial savings. Having said that, this version seems to be as good as it gets in terms of navigating a commentary. I have Kindle for Mac as well as iPhone and accessing the end notes and getting to a specific passage are relatively easy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Helpful Commentary
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017
The New American Commentary Series is a commentary with the expressed goal of enabling "pastors, teachers, and students to read the Bible and proclaim it with power." The New American Commentary series is "unapologetically confessional and rooted in the evangelical tradition," and affirms "the divine inspiration, inerrancy, complete truthfulness, and full authority of the Bible. The New American Commentary "focuses on communicating the theological structure and content of each biblical book. The writers seek to illuminate both the historical meaning and contemporary significance of Holy Scripture." The series as a whole focuses on two concerns:
1) The commentary emphasizes how each section of a book fits together so that the reader becomes aware of the theological unity of each book and of Scripture as a whole.
2) The New American Commentary is produced with the conviction that the Bible primarily belongs to the church...the editors and authors of this series have attempted to communicate the findings of their research in a manner that will build up the whole body of Christ.
Focusing on the commitments listed above as well as the two concerns results in a commentary series that provides a trustworthy and sound exegetical and theological exposition of God's Word. It also provides a commentary series that is highly readable for many in the church as the authors express their concern to communicate clearly as to edify the whole body.

Taylor works through his commentary on 1 Corinthians by way of these major themes:
The Letter Opening : God's Grace and Faithfulness in Christ (1:1-9) - Most letter openings are quickly read through without much thought, but in light of all of the problems that we know the Corinthian church was plagued with this introduction in which Paul calls them saints and is thankful for them is truly astonishing. As Taylor points out, Paul is focused on "God's grace given in Christ and God's faithfulness to establish his people blameless on the Day of the Lord.
The Wisdom of God: Embracing the Values of the Cross (1:10-4:21)
Issues of Purity, Both Corporate and Individual (5:1-7:40)
The Freedom of the Gospel: Loving God and Loving One's Neighbor (8:1-11:1)
Worship in Community (11:2-14:40) - I found Taylor to be quite helpful in this section. In regards to in depth commentary on head coverings I have found many commentaries to be wanting. Many will touch on a couple of quick points and then move on, while others may give various points of view, but never point out which view the author holds to be the best interpretation. I am thankful that Taylor is clear on this issue in his commentary. Taylor points out that Paul is grounding his point "in light of the relational hierarchy inherent in the created order." Paul is focusing in on this because it appears that the Corinthian church has veered from what should have been acceptable in worship. Taylor continues, "the meaning, in this context, is not that the woman has a newfound authority to do something that she was previously forbidden to do in worship, such as to pray and prophesy, but rather that she should exercise control over her own head by keeping it covered in the recognition that she stands in a particular relation to her husband in light of creation. Both husbands and wives are to bring glory rather that shame to their 'head.' Verses 2-16 [Chapter 11] are not about rights but about obligations." I was very thankful that Taylor presented his interpretation of this difficult section in a clear way.
Bodily Resurrection: Certainty, Possibility, and Necessity (15:1-58)
The Continuing Work of the Gospel (16:1-24)
One key feature to this commentary is its footnotes. Taylor has heavily footnoted his commentary with additional Scripture references, book references, additional notes on greek words and grammar, etc.. I appreciate this because it allowed me to read straight through his flow of thought when I wanted to, but also allowed for me to be able to slow down and dig deeper when necessary. This makes it a wonderful commentary to add to a church library. Pastors/teachers may want to work through the commentary slowly and examine the footnotes, and it will surely provide great insight for them. Lay people will also greatly benefit from this commentary as most of the technical work has been footnoted allowing for those not as interested in the technical aspects to read through the commentary without feeling like they're getting "bogged down" in details that they are not as interested in. I have now read and reviewed a few commentaries in this series and have benefited greatly from it. Great work!

I received a copy of this commentary from B&H Publishing Group in exchange for an honest review.

Taylor's commentary on 1 Corinthians is a great help for pastors and believers alike. His writing style is easily understood, and for those who would like to go deeper in study, one need look only to the footnotes and bibliography. This commentary would be a great source for a personal study through the book of 1 Corinthians.

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015
Runs from teaching that Paul in 1 Cor. commands us today that women should have long hair, be silent in church, and that men are commanded to go after speaking up in the church service. A plain bible believing reading of 1 Cor. 12-14 shows that today's church services don't follow God's instructions of how God wants a church service to be conducted. How have we arrived at the place were the modern church service today is accepted as biblical? I think Martin Luther's words give the answer. " I have observed that all the heresies and errors have arisen not from Scripture's own plain statements, but when that plainness of statement is ignored, and men follow the Scholastic arguments of their own brains" . It's hard for pastors etc to see what might cost them having the big spot light, a larger church and salary. PowerOfGrace.org

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent exegesis and exposition of the book of 1 Corinthians.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2018
Verified Purchase
Mark Taylor writes and excellent commentary on 1 Corinthians. His exegesis of the text is second to none, explaining the historical background of the text and explaining the meaning of the text for the Corinthian saints of the day. He makes numerous appeals to various scholars and commentators in showing the different views that Christians have held concerning the interpretation of some difficult verses, before giving what he believes is the correct understanding of the verse or verses at hand. His exposition of chapters 11-14 with regards to Christian worship and the use of spiritual gifts, is biblical, well balanced and practical. However, like most modern commentators this commentary suffers from a lack of consistent pastoral application throughout for the 21st century believer.
