Synopsis

This book examines the insidious nature of internal divisions within the Christian faith, drawing on an example from the Corinthian church as described in the Bible. The author explores the dangers of putting human leaders or ideas on a pedestal, and the corrosive effects of intolerance and a lack of charity towards fellow Christians. The book argues that such divisions stem from the sin of pride and self-will, and that they can lead to a distorted understanding of Christ's message. By examining the historical example of the Corinthian church, the author offers profound insights into the nature of Christian unity, the importance of humility, and the imperative to resist the temptations of division and exclusivity.
