Book Description

Many dangers can arise from reading a letter written to someone else, and epistles—scriptural letters—are no different. Don and Anita Flowers present this comprehensive study of 1 Corinthians, filled with scholarly insight and dealing with such varied topics as marriage and sexuality, spiritual gifts and love, and diversity and unity. The authors examine Paul’s relationship with the church in Corinth as well as the culture of that city to give context to topics that can seem far removed from Christian life today. These four sessions direct learners toward the blessings the modern church can glean from this letter to an early church from the most recognizable and prolific ancient theological writer. Although not written to us today, the authors reveal how profoundly 1 Corinthians is written about us.
