Christ and Culture at Corinth: Lessons from First Corinthians
Overview
The lectureship for this year draws its theme from Paul's first epistle to the church at Corinth. Corinth was the capital of the Roman province of Achaia during New Testament times. Recent archaeological evidence as well as history shows that the city, though located in Greece, was thoroughly Roman in character. The saints at Corinth faced problems peculiar to Roman culture. We know more about a larger number of problems faced by the Corinthians than any other first century church. Nearly every chapter of Paul's letter to the church at Corinth contains one or more problems which reflect the cultural setting of the church. Scan the book and you will see problems relating to human wisdom and leadership, division, immorality, use of the law courts, issues concerning marriage, sexual abstinence, social mobility, personal rights, the role of man and woman, spiritual gifts, and the doctrine of the resurrection.
