In his first letter to the church in Corinth, Paul writes, "I
delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that
Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he
was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures" (1 Cor 15:3-4 ESV). Reflecting on Paul's summary of
the gospel, sixteenth-century biblical commentator, theologian, and
Lutheran pastor Tilemann Hesshus wrote, "The central tenet and
foundation of our entire religion is that our Lord Jesus Christ
died for our sins and rose again for our justification. All of our
comfort, salvation and hope rest upon this foundation. From this is
derived that greatest comfort concerning the resurrection of the
dead and the future life of eternal glory." Throughout the church's
history, Christians have turned to the epistles of the Apostle Paul
in order to understand the essentials of the Christian faith, learn
from the challenges faced by early Christians, and discern how to
navigate the complexities of following Christ. Among those who
gained wisdom from Paul were the Protestant Reformers, who found
inspiration and instruction about how to lead the church of their
day during a time of significant theological debate, ecclesiastical
reform, and spiritual renewal. In this volume of the Reformation
Commentary on Scripture, Scott Manetsch guides readers through a
diversity of Reformation-era commentary on the first of Paul's
letters to the Corinthians. Within this volume, readers will
encounter familiar voices and discover lesser-known figures from a
variety of theological traditions, including Lutherans, Reformed,
Radicals, Anglicans, and Roman Catholics. Drawing on a variety of
resources-including commentaries, sermons, treatises, and
confessions-much of which appears here for the first time in
English, it provides resources for contemporary preachers, enables
scholars to better understand the depth and breadth of Reformation
commentary, and helps all Christians cling to the things of first
importance.
