Very easy to read, a good stepping stone for maturing believers who are just starting to move beyond the milk stage. I don't know, maybe I'm the only one who used to find commentaries a bit intimidating? The packaging is perhaps a bit deceptive - I was looking for a study on wisdom not Corinthians in particular - but it is certainly friendly looking and approachable.

I also appreciated the author's emphasis on love, grace, building other people up, and creating bridges instead of walls. Of course that's what a commentary on Corinthians should say, but people often brush over these facts at best and relish the idea of sinners getting their just deserts at worst - forgetting of course that they are also sinners who deserve Hell.

He did end up looking a bit hypocritical in the end, but I think that was mostly due to lack of explanation. For example, what is the difference between the philosophizing of the Corinthians and the doctrine that Wiersbe apparently loves, both have been used to create divisions in the church. I also am becoming annoyed with people who seem to think they are presenting the true and pure gospel and everyone else has on tinted glasses, because everyone says that about everyone else. I guess humble people don't get their books published.

Well we all have our shortcomings and generally I would say this book was not heretical :) I'm sure Wiersbe will be relieved when he hears he has my approval. ( )
