Letters1 & 2 Corinthians
Astride the isthmus between two seas, Roman Corinth boiled with trade, sport, and vice. Paul arrived “in weakness and fear” and stayed eighteen months making tents with Aquila and Priscilla.
“I have many people in this city,” the Lord told him in a vision — and a turbulent, gifted church was born.
To it Paul wrote letters confronting division and immorality and lifting up the more excellent way: “Love is patient, love is kind…” and the hope of resurrection.
