THE FIRST CORINTHIANS LETTER EXAMINED VERSE BY VERSE
Back cover description:
For one and a half years, Paul labored in the Greek harbor city of Corinth. During that time, a diverse circle of believers formed around the Good Message he proclaimed. After Paul left and arrived in Ephesus, reports and questions from Corinth reached him. The First Corinthians letter is Paul’s answer to those.
The letter provides insight into the workings and concerns of the young congregation and the questions that lived among them. But above all, it reveals the tremendous answers that Paul, as “emissary of Christ Jesus,” was permitted to convey to them—to guide them from the ‘wisdom’ of the world to the wisdom of God; from milk to solid food; from childish to mature; from the fragmentary beginnings to the fullness of “faith, hope, and love.”
Against a backdrop of various issues around factions, lawsuits, prostitution, disorderly meetings, religious and cultural tensions, Paul leads his readers away from the ‘pathetic’ approach to the ‘spiritual.’ The conclusion of Paul’s letter forms the climax: an impressive exposition on the all-encompassing impact of Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
