| Publisher Description: The emergence of a Christian church in as sinful an environment as the city of Corinth was in New Testament times created many internal problems of behavior for the members of that early church. Although each new believer came to Christ through faith, each one's cultural and traditional backgrounds remained a stigma. Paul endeavored to solve the many problems they faced as well as set some standards for conduct for these new Christians. Because many of the issues that faced that early church are still prevalent today, the Church must understand the need to address sin and the issues that divide and disrupt the growth of the body of Christ. Today, society tries to use subtlety to get believers in Christ to accept sinful practices that serve to polarize Christians from one another. |
