The Corinthian Christian fellowship had its fair share of problems. There was division between the leaders as well as partisanship in the assembly. One Christian was engaged in behaviour that was shocking even to unbelievers outside of the fellowship, and was bringing the fellowship into disrepute. Some Christians were consulting non-Christian lawyers in order to settle Christian disputes. Spiritual ambition was causing division within the fellowship such that some Christians were being negated. There was a degree of disorder when it came to celebrating the Lord's Supper and to manifesting spiritual gifts. Some were even denying that resurrection existed. In this verse-by-verse and section-by-section commentary of Paul's First letter to the Corinthians, Robert Laynton explores how the Apostle Paul approached these very practical problems. In the process he draws out practical principles for today's Christians and their leaders as they seek to live a godly life day-by-day.
