First and Second Corinthians: The Essence of Christian Life and Witness

If you or your church have ever faced problems, you are in good company. “Corinth was a very problematic church! The list of problems includes factionalism, sexual immorality, issues related to marriage and celibacy, idolatry, inappropriate conduct in worship, denial of or doubts about the resurrection of the dead, opposition to apostolic authority, lack of generosity, and false teachings.”

In First and Second Corinthians, Adenilton Aguiar explores the problems that the Corinthian church faced and Paul’s solutions outlined in his two letters to the church.

Though scrolling smartphones replaced unrolling scrolls, and air travel replaced carts on cobblestones, the teachings Paul wrote to the Corinthians are as relevant as they have ever been. Paul’s call to live a lifestyle that centers around the unifying message of Jesus’ death on the cross, historically reliable resurrection, and ever-approaching return resonates today. Whether in the diverse commercial city of Corinth, or today’s diverse culture, God’s message, delivered by Paul, continues to guide believers as we engage in the Christian life and witness.

Discover in the pages of this book the application for today of the messages of these Corinthian letters.
