Overview

The whole Bible, but particularly a book like 1 Corinthians, illustrates the titanic clash between two opposing spiritual kingdoms. Jesus taught about both the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan—the greatest clash the world has ever known. The book of 1 Corinthians, in particular, illustrates important facets of this cosmic clash, because the struggling saints in Corinth are caught up in the conflict between their former lifestyle and the standards of the Kingdom. Inevitably, strains appear. The clash takes various forms in the overlapping religious and cultural contexts, but the truth of the Gospel—as always—makes itself known. In these twenty-five chapters, Bryan Williams walks readers through this powerful struggle, in which good—not evil—wins.
