A Grove booklet from 1972, early in his time on the staff of St John's College, Nottingham. It works through 1 Corinthians 12–14, Paul's chapters on spiritual gifts, worship and love at Corinth, as an exposition for church life rather than a technical commentary, at a time when the charismatic movement was raising these questions in English parishes. Goldingay later placed the text on his own website as a free download.
