Segment 27: A Congregation in Ferment

Presenter: Pheme Perkins

Corinth was a city of social, cultural, and ethnic diversity. Paul constantly
had to deal with quarrels and misunderstanding in the church there. In
the Corinthian correspondence, Paul returns repeatedly to two simple
principles: Since Jesus died for all people, no one can claim to be better
than any fellow Christian; and love is the standard by which we determine
how we treat others in all situations. Despite all the controversies with the
Corinthians, Paul never let the Corinthians forget that they had to
make that love a reality in their lives.
