1 Corinthians doesn't have as many good commentaries as does 2 Corinthians, but these are my top four picks:I begin with Gordon Fee: The First Epistle to the Corinthians
. Then I back up in time and read C.K. Barrett, whose skill in writing commentaries on Paul has no rival: The First Epistle to Corinthians
. Then I read Ben Witheringon's commentary: Conflict and Community in Corinth: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1 and 2 Corinthians
. I finish off with Judith Kovacs, whose commentary reminds me of the Church's interpretation (and I look forward to this series being completed): 1 Corinthians (The Church's Bible)

I would add Craig Blomberg's 1 Corinthians volume from the NIVAC series. Not a huge fan of the NIVAC format, but Blomberg's exegesis and critical thinking is always solid.
Scot,
How could you leave off Thiselton!
Yes, Fee and Witherington, and wish I had the others.
yeah I'm with my friend Jason: what gives with the Thiselton no show?

What about Raymond Collins in the Sacra Pagina series? It's not often that a Catholic commentary gets an imprimatur from D.A. Carson!
