This study is timely and valuable in this age of confusion in religion, and growth in charismatic beliefs across all religious lines. Contrary to the typical commentary on 1 Corinthians 13 focusing on love" and then studying verses 8-13 as a separate subject, Steve shows that the analysis of love is an integral part of the main topic (spiritual gifts, including the use of tongues) under discussion in chapters 12-14. The questions are dealt with in fairness and love for the truth.

Individuals and classes will find the study a profitable one, designed to better equip students for defense and propagation of God's Word."
