I & II Corinthians

Summary: Pentecostal Insights into Corinthians
Review: Dr. Stanley Horton is to be commended for the best Pentecostal series of commentary I have ever seen. The Assemblies of God continues to move ahead of the other Pentecostal movements by seeking to introduce their doctrines by great books such as this book.

This book is a commentary on the Letters by Paul to the Corinthians. Most of the interpretation of this book will be soundly evangelical in its makeup with the exception of Horton's views on 1 Corinthians 12-14. Here is where this book is worth the price. You will find one of the best (and deepest) treatments on the gifts of the Spirit and their usage from 1 Corinthians 12-14 that I have ever seen from Pentecostal material.

My only drawback with this book is the constant usage of the New International Version which is a great translation but I would prefer using several different translations to help bring us closer to the original text. Also, Dr. Horton, being an Assemblies of God clergy, is careful not to attack the denominational world despite the denominational churches failure to deal with 1 Corinthians 11.

Summary: THEOLOGY ALL THE WAY!!!
Review: Stanley Horton presents a commentary of 1 and 2 Corinthians in a Pentecostal perspective. It is very biblically based, theologically rooted, and sound in doctrine. Stanley Horton, graduate of Harvard Divinity School, is truly one of the greatest modern-day theologians. 1 and 2 Corinthians is often taken out of context by anti-Pentecostals, but Horton debunks all of these misinterpretations and puts the Corinthian letters into their proper context. 1 and 2 Corinthians don't contradict the Pentecostal message...they simply guide it. Thanks to Horton's excellent work, unity and understanding will continue to flow from the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. I would also recommend the same author's "What the Bible Says About the Holy Spirit".
