Ronald Hock "I have never read a book that so clearly and precisely explains 1 Corinthians." Currents in Theology & Mission "Winter describes his goal as follows: 'to bring to life something of the first-century social and religious context of Corinth and help illuminate the text of 1 Corinthians for the reader' (p.xii). He meets his goal; pastors and students will find this immensely illuminating." Robert Jewett "A challenging survey of some links between 1 Corinthians and the Roman colony at Corinth. Winter's study will be widely debated because of its fresh and frequently surprising insights. After Paul Left Corinth will appeal to students as well as specialists."
