Translated by A. W. Heathcote and P. J. Allcock
Imprint: Wipf and Stock
Professor Jean Hering, who died in February 1966, had been intimately connected with the Protestant Faculty of Theology at the University of Strasbourg for thirty years. The originality and profundity of his learning made him one of the most influential of its scholars. In earlier years he had specialized in philology. He had been also an ardent, though not uncritical, disciple of Husserl and always retained an interest in phenomenology. For a time he had occupied a Chair of Ethics, prior to his Chair of Theology. Until is death he was a Joint Director of the internationally famous Revue d'histoire et de philosophie religieuses, to which he made frequent contributions.
"There can be no doubt that here is a commentary of first-class importance worthy to be studied alongside those of A. Robertson and A. Plummer (I.C.C.) and G. G. Findlay (E.G.T.)" -- Expository Times
". . . the commentary is very thorough and the passages of exegesis are full and informative . . ."
-- Theology
"There has been available no commentary on this New Testament book, which is of equal quality . . . the book is a 'must' for all students of the New Testament."
-- London Quarterly & Holborn Review
"The translation . . . provides in modest compass probably the best commentary on I Corinthians now available in English." -- Hibbert
