The Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament is written by ministers rather than academics: sixteen of them from five countries and ten Reformed denominations, under the editorship of Jon D. Payne.

The series aims to be rigorously exegetical, God-centered, redemptive-historical, sin-exposing and gospel-trumpeting, and it is built on the practice of preaching consecutively through a book. Kim Riddlebarger writes this volume on 1 Corinthians, which means the commentary comes out of a pulpit rather than a desk.
