1 Corinthians: A community in dissent by Ekaputra Tupamahu (T & T Clark, £16.99 (£15.29); 978-0-567-67691-7).

“1 Corinthians: A Community in Dissent approaches Paul’s letter not simply as a monologue from an authoritative apostle but as part of an ongoing, dynamic conversation within a diverse and complex early Christian community. Rather than assuming that Paul’s voice is the only word, this study pays close attention to the voices of the Corinthians, which often emerge through rhetorical clues, reported speech, and implied dialogue. By shifting the focus toward the community’s concerns and responses, the book encourages readers to see 1 Corinthians as a text shaped by negotiation, disagreement, and mutual engagement.”
