The first letter to the Corinthians is very memorable for the believer. The letter contains many ONE Rotatorverses responsible for the hackneyed Christian axioms such as, “Cause a brother to stumble”, “Becoming all things to all,” and “Do all to the glory of God.” More importantly, 1Corinthians 15 includes one of the most referenced and explicit statements of the gospel in all of Scripture.

Without doubt, the first letter to the Corinthians is controversial for the leader, pastor, and preacher. The letter is quite practical as Paul applies the gospel to daily life in the church. Ironically, a letter written to unify the church has proven to be a source of great division historically. Controversy abounds, it seems, when discussing sex, divorce, spiritual gifts, women speaking in church, church discipline, and Christian liberty.

More than anything, first letter to the Corinthians is vital for the church today. This is a book for us today because, while we claim to be more connected than ever, everything in our world feels more divided than ever. Our culture is divided politically, socially, economically, even recreationally. Even the church-culture is divided by denominations, schools of theology, church networks, “coalitions” of pastors who do conferences, blogs, books, and podcasts. Disunity is crouching at our door and this letter is written to unify us.
