First Corinthians, 2nd Edition (Lectio Continua Expository Commentary on the New Testament) - Hardcover
Synopsis
To be a Christian in first-century Corinth was much like being a Christian in twenty-first-century America. In this encouraging exposition of 1 Corinthians, Riddlebarger examines the apostle Paul's instruction about sexual immorality, divisiveness, and idolatry in practical and theological terms. Based on sermons from his own pulpit, Riddlebarger helps us see that we still desperately need to look in faith to the risen Christ to stand firm in a perverse world.

From the Back Cover
To be a Christian in first-century Corinth was much like being a Christian in the twenty-first-century Western world. As Kim Riddlebarger explains, "New Christians found themselves struggling to learn the doctrines of Christianity and then live out their new faith in a city and culture well known for its rampant sexual immorality and idolatry." In this encouraging exposition of 1 Corinthians, Riddlebarger examines the apostle Paul's concerns about disturbing patterns of behavior at Corinth and his response to questions the church raised about practical and theological issues. He also helps us see how worldly wisdom continues to threaten our churches today and that we still desperately need to look in faith to the crucified and risen Christ, who alone brings life and godliness to His church through the power of His Holy Spirit.
