DESCRIPTION

The moral depravity evident throughout Corinth most vividly reflected the spiritual need of that city. The debauchery of the city was so well known in ancient times that "to act the Corinthian" became synonymous with committing fornication. It was within the context of such ungodliness that Paul challenged the believers at Corinth to live as saints.

While the church today faces some new challenges, the issues of church unity, sexual morality, marriage, divorce, modesty, authority, spiritual gifts, and hope are still day-to-day problems for Christians who struggle to live clean in Corinth. Dr. Mitchell's commentary will provide guidance in overcoming these obstacles and live for Christ in a culture that is hostile to Jesus and all He represents.
