In this commentary on St. Paul’s Letters to the Corinthians, Balthasar brings to life Paul’s dramatic confrontation with the Church in Corinth, highlighting the Apostle’s ability to respond to the questions and problems of this difficult community in a way that is at once sensitive to the situation at hand and uncompromisingly responsible to timeless truth. At the same time, Balthasar devotes attention to the fundamental pillars of Pauline teaching: Christ Crucified and his Resurrection and the Trinitarian life opened up in the Paschal Mystery. It is this central light that illumines, measures, judges the Corinthian Church – and Paul’s own pastoral ministry in its midst.
