1st and 2nd Corinthians: A Study of Paul's Letters

This book is a verse-by-verse commentary on the letters Paul wrote to the Christians of Corinth in the first century, when the Church was new. Amazingly, the questions of faith those early Christians struggled with are strikingly similar to those of our time, and Pauls advice to them is just as timely now as it was then. -Gods Plan for man -The message of the Cross -The Gifts of the Holy Spirit -The proper Christian attitude toward sexuality in society -Marriage and celibacy -What standards will God use to judge us -Womans role in the Church and in the world -What the Eucharist offers and what it demands -The power of love -The attributes of holiness -Why God allows righteous suffering -Life after death Kernels of wisdom from the Fathers of the Church are sprinkled unobtrusively throughout the text, creating a masterpiece with the historic authority of the early Church as applied to the modern Christian experience.
