My family is spending the first half of 2018 at Tyndale House in Cambridge, England, while I spend a research sabbatical drafting a commentary on 1 Corinthians for Crossway’s new ESV Bible Expository Commentary series.

The theological journal Presbyterion just published a 17-page article I wrote that is a more detailed version of part of my commentary’s introduction:

Andrew David Naselli. “The Structure and Theological Message of 1 Corinthians.” Presbyterion 44.1 (2018): 98–114.

My conclusion:

• The most plausible structure for 1 Corinthians is that the letter addresses a string of ten parallel controversial issues in the church.
• The letter’s theological message is that the gospel requires God’s holy people to mature in purity and unity.
