First Corinthians
| |||||||||||
|
First-century Corinth was the leading
commercial center of southern Greece.
The city was infamous for its immorality and paganism. But in spite of great obstacles, Paul was able
to plant a Christian church there on his second missionary journey (Acts
18:1-17). Though gifted and growing,
the church was plagued with problems; moral and ethical, doctrinal and
practical corporate and private. Paul
writes the letter of First Corinthians to deal with some of these disorders,
and to answer questions which the Christians in Corinth had raised on crucial
issues.
