About the Pauline Epistles: Problems

Paul’s letters to the churches that he started and
ministered to give us a view of a pastor’s struggle to
teach the faith and adherence to the Word of God while
offering the pure and free forgiveness of Christ. Each
time that Paul writes a letter, it is also carefully
contextualized to the problems of each specific city or
person that he is writing to.

• Romans – Problems of Misunderstanding

• I Corinthians – Problems of Church Practice

• II Corinthians – Problems of Guilt

• Galatians – Problems of False Laws

• Ephesians – Problems of Living a New Life

• Philippians – Problems of Humility

• Colossians – Problems Living in Pagan Society

• I & II Thessalonians – Problems of False Teachers

• I & II Timothy & Titus – Problems Being A Leader

• Philemon – Problems of Calling and Former Life

About I & II Corinthians: The City
Corinth was a rich Roman city that gained most of its
wealth through its strategic position as a trading city.
It’s physical location made it a natural trading stop for
many in the ancient world and made Corinth into a
melting pot city with several different ethnicities and
cultures. Each culture brought its own religion and
habits (including bad habits) into this cosmopolitan city.
Putting Corinth into the landscape of the United States,
Corinth would be like a cosmopolitan city with high
numbers of immigrants and a laissez faire attitude
toward morality – perhaps like a cross between New
York and New Orleans.

Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
someone else to use.
