2000 Catholic Press Association Award Winner! One of the most
exciting of Paul's letters, 1 Corinthians offers a vantage point
from which modern readers can reflect on diverseness in Christian
Churches today. In First Corinthians, Raymond Collins explores that
vantage point as well as the challenge Paul posed to the people of
his time - and continues to pose in ours - to allow the gospel
message to engage them in their daily lives. Paul introduces us to
a flesh-and-blood community whose humanness was all too apparent.
Sex, death, and money were among the issues they had to face.
Social conflicts and tension within their Christian community were
part of their daily lives. Paul uses all of his diplomacy,
rhetorical skill, and authority to exhort the Corinthian community
to be as one in Christ. In examining Paul's message and method,
Collins approaches 1 Corinthians as a Hellenistic letter written to
people dealing with real issues in the Hellenistic world. He cites
existing Hellenistic letters to show that Paul was truly a letter
writer of his own times. Collins makes frequent references to the
writings of the philosophic moralists to help clarify the way in
which Paul spoke to his beloved Corinthians. He also comments on
some aspects of the social circumstances in which the Christians of
Corinth actually lived.
