1 Corinthians - Holiness and Hope of a Rescued People - Focus on the Family

Plot

In Ephesus Paul was visited by various groups from Corinth bringing disturbing reports of recent developments, but also a list of questions. Paul discerned in the problems and the questions five underlying issues. He has arranged his letter as a series of sermons - True Wisdom (1-4), Sexual Holiness (5-7), Temple Attendance (8-10), Behaviour at Church Meetings (11-14), Resurrection Hope (15). This letter is both timely and timeless. It was, doubtless, piercingly relevant for the Corinthians as they sat transfixed listening as it was read to them. But the letter continues to challenge readers today as they apply its principles to life in an increasingly unstable and hostile world - as Corinth was. - Publisher.
