New Testament · Paul's Letters

1 Corinthians

Authorship: Written by Paul.
Historical setting: Corinth, a wealthy and morally loose port city.
Key themes: Unity · The cross versus human wisdom · Love · Resurrection
Where it sits in the story: The clearest picture in Scripture of an early church working out how to live.

1 Corinthians belongs to Paul's Letters. Romans to Philemon. Letters to churches and to co-workers.
