Paul here is writing to the Christians in Corinth about the problems of disunity, immorality, lawsuits, prostitution, marriage, Christian freedom, spiritual gifts and resurrection – some of which had arisen from a misunderstanding of Paul’s teaching.
Even though written 2,000 years ago, Paul’s letter is a rich resource for us in the twenty-first century. Our culture exerts enormous pressures on us – as did the Greco-Roman culture on the Corinthian church. Like the Corinthian Christians, we are called to be counter-cultural people, demonstrating the power of the kingdom of God in our generation.
