CASB 5: The First Epistle to the Corinthians

By Dr. Robert Sungenis · 2009 · ISBN 978-0-9818660-8-6

One letter, sixteen chapters, and most of the questions that divide Christians land somewhere in it. Volume V of the Catholic Apologetics Study Bible gives 1 Corinthians a fresh translation from the Greek and then annotates it verse by verse, keeping the grammatical, historical, patristic and practical notes at the foot of each page and carrying the contested passages into longer commentaries at the back.

Those commentaries take up the inspiration of Scripture at 2:13, purgatory at 3:15, whether 4:6 teaches sola Scriptura, the meaning of justified at 6:11, a critique of penal substitution at 6:20, divorce at 7:10, the brothers of Jesus at 9:5, the Eucharist at 10:14 and 11:25 and its abuse at 11:17, head coverings and the role of the angels at 11:5 and 11:10, three chapters on the use and abuse of tongues speaking, the role of women at 14:34, and the rapture and final judgment at 15:23. Each one argues the historic Catholic reading against the alternatives rather than asserting it.
