Episode 209: Audio Library - A Short Introduction to the Epistle of 1 Corinthians

In this episode, we continue our audiobook reading of A Short Introduction to the Epistles of Paul the Apostle by W. Kelly with the chapter on 1 Corinthians.

This chapter examines the circumstances of the Corinthian church and the reasons Paul wrote this epistle. Unlike Romans, which lays out doctrine in a systematic way, 1 Corinthians addresses serious practical and moral problems within a local assembly. Kelly explains how Paul applies Christian truth to real-life church issues while maintaining the authority of Christ and the unity of the body.

In this chapter, you will hear about:

• The condition of the church at Corinth and the challenges it faced

• Divisions, moral failure, and disorder within the assembly

• Paul’s teaching on Christian conduct, discipline, and spiritual gifts

• The balance between grace and holiness in church life

This reading is part of an ongoing audiobook series covering each of Paul’s epistles in order. More chapters will be released as the series continues.
