About this title

Synopsis

The most influential leader in the early church was undoubtedly the apostle Paul. He never lost the vision of God's single new humanity―Jews and Gentiles together. And in his letters we watch him exercising his leadership skills among the early Christians..

This nine-session LifeGuideŽ Bible Study by John Stott is based on his book Basic Christian Leadership and covers the first four chapters of 1 Corinthians, in which Paul responds to a complex church situation andto questions the Corinthians have addressed to him. He does so with clarity, wisdom, humility, love and gentleness―qualities that we can learn from as leaders today..

For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions―making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.
