Reviews

The Corinthian church was planted in a moral cesspool. The people who came to Christ and formed that church brought a wagon-load of philosophical, religious, and moral baggage with them that made this a tough church. The two letters we have from Paul to the Corinthians deal with some of the most thorny spiritual and moral issues addressed anywhere in the Bible. This course, 1 and 2 Corinthians: Two Letters to a Tough Church, contains essential help for the Church in any age.

  • As he had done with other New Testament books, Dr Blomberg gives good summaries of the two letters to Corinth. I'm impressed with his exposition of the flow of thought and the outline of 2 Corinthians. This is a particularly difficult book to outline, and I've never been satisfied with others' outlines nor my own. From him, I first hear of chain-link reasoning and chiasm as a device to resolve this, and I'm so satisfied with his approach. A course to recommended highly.
