ABOUT THIS BOOK

The Trumpet Shall Sound is a title from the famous words of St. Paul in his great discourse on the reality of the resurrection. This book is a series of studies on the First Epistle to the Corinthians. It selects a key verse or passage from each chapter in turn and seeks to draw out his essential meaning by a careful examination of the text.

This epistle is often very self-revealing and allows its reader to get to know what Paul was like: no plaster Saint on a pedestal, but a man of like feelings with us all. It is often doctrinal, but mainly practical in its teaching. The Trumpet Shall Sound will introduce the reader to the Epistle as a whole and show how closely it bears on the life of Churches and Christians today.
