Cohick brings her expertise in the world of first-century Christians to bear in this commentary. Knowing the culture of the author and his audience makes a huge difference in understanding the biblical text. Particularly insightful is her handling of the household codes in chapter 5. Serious exegetes and thoughtful pastors preparing to preach on marriage/family should not move forward without consulting this resource. It's also very readable! I find that rare in comprehensive commentaries like NICNT produces.
