Watch our Introduction video on the book of 1 Corinthians, which outlines the book’s main theme and how it is fulfilled in Jesus. In 1 Corinthians, Paul applies the Gospel to the sin, conflicts, and problems within the church at Corinth. Many of these problems stemmed from the Greek’s views about wisdom, which informed many of their moral and religious decisions. The Gospel of Jesus counteracts the world’s wisdom because Jesus’ death did not look like wisdom to most people. However, in this letter, Paul proves that Jesus going to the cross is the wisest thing that has ever happened.
