Foundational Building Block
WHO?
After meeting the risen Jesus, Paul became an apostle with a special mission to Gentiles (Galatians 2:9). Paul was a Pharisee who was skilled in the interpretation of Israel’s Scripture, yet he teaches that God welcomes Jews and Gentiles alike-all who have faith.
WHAT?
Paul has a complex response to a social dilemma for Gentiles: whether Christians should avoid eating meat offered to idols in pagan ceremonies. Paul agrees that idols have no real existence (1 Corinthians 8:4), but he cares about any potential for misunderstanding.
WHERE?
Paul first established the church in Corinth (modern-day Greece), and his letters show that he exchanged correspondence with them and planned future visits (1 Corinthians 5:9; 16:5-9). The congregation of Corinth had many problems and divisions, as it was made up of recent converts from paganism.
WHEN?
The Corinthian church was founded during Paul’s missionary travels (Acts 18:1, 11). Paul probably died in Rome around 65 AD, which makes 1 Corinthians likely to have been composed in the 50s. It became especially well-known among Christians in the first and second centuries.
CONNECTING TO GOD’S BIG STORY
Paul saw the many difficulties within the Corinthian church, but he hoped their faith would be a testimony of God’s covenant faithfulness. We know that the same God called Abraham, came to earth as Jesus, and leads through the Holy Spirit. The one and only God had a plan all along!
