Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Unity of the Corinthian Correspondence, David Hall argues that 1 and 2 Corinthians are closely related. In both letters, Paul faces the same opponents, referring to them in the same disguised, indirect way in both 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians 19 before confronting them directly in 2 Corinthians 1013. Furthermore, many passages in 2 Corinthians echo the teaching of 1 Corinthians, while others refer to the Corinthian reaction to the first letter. Hall therefore maintains that modern attempts to regard 1 and 2 Corinthians as a mosaic of fragments are based on a flawed methodology that fail to appreciate Pauls pastoral teaching.

Download or read book The Corinthian Correspondence written by Helen Doohan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corinthian correspondence and the community it reflects are exciting and exasperating, interesting and complex. The letters offer us a window of opportunity to view Paul's personal and pastoral presence in his growing relationship with this church. Struggling with his own history, the history of the community, and the newness of the Gospel he preaches, Paul identifies an approach that balances tradition and innovation, theological foundations and principles of action. The passion, persuasion, and purpose of the apostle permeate these letters, and no one is unaware that the Lord Jesus is the center of his Gospel message and of his life. Paul offers insight into the commitment of early apostles, disciples, and ministers in the Corinthian community. He personally experiences the dying and rising of Christ in his work with this community, giving a ring of truth to his own assessment of Christian life and ministry. Only faith transforms adversity into an opportunity for growth, and Paul's faith and perseverance offer hope to those of us who continue to experience the paradoxes of Christian life and ministry.

Download or read book Paul s Letters to the Corinthians written by Rick Joyner and published by Morningstar Publications Inc.. This book was released on with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These letters encompass everything from practical church life—including church discipline—to the purpose of love and the importance of sound doctrine on the resurrection of the dead. The Apostle Paul was devoted to not merely giving instructions, but also to sharing with believers “why” the instructions were important. This is in keeping with the core purpose of the Gospel—to change peoples’ hearts, not just their behavior. For this reason, no other writings ever penned have changed more hearts than the letters of the Apostle Paul. These two letters to the Corinthians stand as the most powerful of all.
Download or read book Paul and his Rivals written by Clair Mesick and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of Paul’s Corinthian correspondence is a historical puzzle. How did the relative calm of 1 Corinthians deteriorate into the chaos of 2 Corinthians, and what role did the so-called Jewish “super-apostles” play in that conflict? This book proposes a new solution: it was Paul, not his rivals, who shot the first volley in the Corinthian conflict. Paul’s claims of unique authority—for instance, as the architect atop whose foundation all others must build (1 Cor 3:10) and the Corinthians’ father while others are mere pedagogues (4:15)—would relegate other leaders to lesser positions. His contention that accepting financial support put an obstacle before the gospel (9:12) would jeopardize the livelihood of apostles who relied on such support. Finally, Paul’s claim that he becomes “lawless to the lawless” (9:21) or that “circumcision is nothing” (7:19) could throw into question Paul’s own Jewishness (cf. 2 Cor 11:22). By reading the Corinthian correspondence against the grain—imagining how Paul’s letter might have backfired for an audience who did not yet take him as scripture—this book explores how misunderstandings and misinterpretations can fracture church communities and cause a ripple effect of conflict and accusation.
Download or read book Reading the Corinthian Correspondence written by Kevin Quast and published by ARPress. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Corinthian Correspondence is a clear and concise introduction to the two letters Paul wrote to Corinth, a community plagued by internal divisions, social and ethnic distinctions, and diversity of congregations. Kevin Quast begins this study with an overview of Paul's life, influences, and missionary career. The author then moves to a vivid description of the city of Corinth and the church there. He devotes the next twelve chapters to an in-depth, paragraph-by-paragraph treatment of 1 and 2 Corinthians. Within these chapters, Dr. Quast deals with the wide variety of issues that Paul addressed - including private and public relationships, matters of worship, resurrection, and the nature of true Christian ministry. In the two concluding chapters, he offers invaluable insights into both the literary aspects and prevading themes that characterize the letters of Paul. Ever mindful of his modern readers, the author bridges the first century and today with penetrating commentary, provocative questions, and substantive summary charts. Kevin Quast is Academic Vice President of Taylor University College, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. For twelve years, he was professor of New Testament at Ontario Theological Seminary (now Tyndale Seminary), where he continues as an associate professor of New Testament. He is author of Peter and the Beloved Disciple: Figures for a Community in Crisis (1989) and Reading the Gospel of John: An Introduction (1991), as well as numerous academic and popular articles.
Download or read book Christianity at Corinth written by Edward Adams and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Corinthians provides a unique glimpse info the life of a young Christian community in a Greco-Roman environment during the early decades of emerging Christianity. It supplies a range and richness of information about the early church that is unparalleled by any other New Testament document. Much effort has gone into reconstructing Christianity at Corinth; more recently, attention has focused on the Corinthian community itself. The scholarly picture of the Corinthian Christians throughout the period of modern interpretation has been far from constant, and their profile has altered as interpretive fashions have shifted. This collection of classic and new essays charts the history of the scholarly quest for the Corinthian church from F. C. Baur to the present day, and offers the reflections of leading scholars on where the quest has taken us and its future direction.

He makes these letters as timely and as applicable today as they were when written centuries ago. His lucid style and detailed interpretation illuminate the whole text, so that the Epistles become as fascinating to the lay reader as to the minister and Bible student. In this volume Dr. Morgan's sturdy faith stands out like a beacon, and his instinctive insight and close scrutiny bring out all the force of Christianity's greatest apostle. Here is a mine for preachers seeking new inspiration for their sermons and a handbook for Christian workers and laymen who wish to become better acquainted with the teachings of the Apostle Paul. G. Campbell Morgan is the author of more than seventy volumes, each of which shows its readers why this scholar and preacher could move more people with sheer exposition than any of his contemporaries.
Download or read book 2 Corinthians A Short Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary written by Anthony C. Thiselton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this clear, practical, and relatively brief commentary, Anthony Thiselton brings to bear his intimate knowledge of Paul’s theology, the ancient city of Corinth, and Paul’s epistles to the church of that city. The commentary is not only critical and exegetical, but also has a focus on practical and pastoral reflection. Second Corinthians is Paul’s most passionate epistle. It shows him to be a man of very deep feeling, who sometimes has to be frank, even blunt, with those who seek to undermine his work. In this commentary, we see the inner turmoil of a devoted missionary pastor and apostle. We also have the opportunity to explore how power can be expressed through weakness by pastors and all Christians who follow a Christ crucified and risen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your faith is challenged daily. We live in a society that has few absolutes, where “truth” is defined by personal philosophies. It’s really not so different from the culture of Corinth during the apostle Paul’s ministry. Believers were struggling with the “gray areas” of life, so Paul wrote letters—1 and 2 Corinthians—to remind them of what God intended as black-and-white. In Letters to a Troubled Church, Bible teacher Ray Stedman uses Paul’s epistles to guide us through difficult matters.
