Introduction The book of 1 Corinthians contains Pauls exhortations to the church in Corinth, which was struggling with a lack of unity brought about by arrogance and divisiveness. In this accessible study, pastor and author Jay Thomas helps readers understand the only remedy for such disunity: the pride-defeating truth of the gospel. At the heart of 1 Corinthians is the reality that the good news of Jesus Christ miraculously saves, changes, and unites Gods people.
