Focusing on reverse-contextualisation, the study explores the parallels between Corinthian and Indian cultures through the lens of 1 Corinthians. Andrew B. Spurgeon draws from the original Greek text to apply the epistle's principles to contemporary Indian Christians, offering insights that resonate with their cultural context. This approach emphasizes the relevance of biblical teachings in addressing modern challenges faced by believers in India.
In a world torn by racial, social, economic, political, and gender tensions, the message of Romans is deeply relevant and needed. It is a message both powerful and simple: Christ loved us while we were enemies of God. Can we, then, not follow his example and love those who are different than us? Romans will prepare us to do so. The Asia Bible Commentary Series empowers Christian believers in Asia to read the Bible from within their respective contexts. Holistic in its approach to the text, each exposition of the biblical books combines exegesis and application. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the Body of Christ in Asia by providing pastoral and contextual exposition of every book of the Bible.
