First and Second Corinthians: Straight from the Heart

Overview

The community Paul founded in Corinth gave him both joy and grief, as he encountered disunity, sin, and arrogance including the rejection of his own apostolic authority by some of his flock. His two epistles to the Corinthians come from the heart as he appeals to them to live in peace, righteousness, and generosity, and not to resist his God-given authority. His Corinthian correspondence abides as a lasting legacy and a challenge for churches everywhere. In First and Second Corinthians: Straight from the Heart, Farley works from a literal translation of the original Greek and examines the letters to the Corinthians section by section, explaining their meaning in contemporary language.
