Synopsis

Situated on the narrow neck of land connecting the southern part of Greece with the north. Corinth was one of the most flourishing commercial centers of the ancient world. It was also a symbol of vilest debauchery. "In this hotbed of vice," Dr. Barclay narrates, illuminating the historical background of The Letters to the Corinthians, "some of the greatest work of Paul was done." The apostle wrote to the church there, partly to bolster its resistance to the sin and corruption, and equally to chide and counsel on the contentions that were tearing it apart. What, through the divine inspiration of his own remarkable faith, Paul said to the Corinthians now helps us, who live in the midst of the 21st century temptations and also suffer the evils of religious dissension.

In the simple, illustrative manner that has endeared him to thousands of students, Dr. Barclay clarifies every passage in Corinthians, making us feel with him that Paul's letters are, indeed, among the most fascinating documents in the New Testament.
