1 Corinthians: Restoring a Congregation in Crisis by Dr. Yosef Koelner
2 Corinthians: Countering Messianic Madness by Dr. Jeffrey Seif
In this volume, you will find two separate commentaries from educated, experienced Messianic Jewish rabbis—each relying on his background. They speak to the weighty matters with which Paul, the Rabbi from Tarsus, was dealing—immorality, incest, marriage, congregational conflicts, and more, many of the same challenges we face today.
