    Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture

    Edited by Gerald Bray
    General Editor Thomas C. Oden

    Paul's letters to the Corinthian church have left a mark on Christian Scripture in a way that could never have been predicted.

    In his letters, John expresses delight at believers who are "walking in the truth": behaving with that integrity which reflects the gospel.

It's this love, John writes, that shows that the truth of the gospel has really been grasped, not as an abstract idea but as what it is, the very ...

Or are we missing something in playing the witness of words against deeds? If you are concerned about evangelizing the post-Christian West or the world beyond, you have probably debated this issue. And evangelical instincts drive us to Scripture. In ...
