Hodge's work on 1 and 2 Corinthians forms one of the most significant parts of the plan for a series of "popular commentaries" on the New Testament which he projected with J.A. Alexander in the 1850's. When the early death of Alexander (1860) prevented the completion of the series, the individual volumes were quickly prized in their own right and went through many editions on both sides of the Atlantic.

Author  Charles Hodge (born Dec. 27, 1797, Philadelphia, Pa., U.S. died June 19, 1878, Princeton, N.J.) was the principal of Princeton Theological Seminary between 1851 and 1878. He is considered to be one of the greatest exponents and defenders of historical Calvinism in America during the 19th century.
