About This Book

The letter records an apostle's counsel to a divided congregation, urging unity and moral integrity while correcting abuses in worship and personal conduct. It contrasts human wisdom with the paradoxical power of the crucified Christ, explains Christian freedom and responsibility in marriage and daily life, and sets rules for public worship including the proper use of spiritual gifts and the Lord's Supper. It defends apostolic authority, affirms the central Christian doctrine of resurrection with theological argumentation, and includes practical instructions regarding charity, discipline, and collection for believers in need.
