The First Epistle to the Corinthians is attributed to St. Paul the Apostle and a co-author named Sosthenes, and is addressed to the materially wealthy Christian church in Corinth. The letter can be divided as follows:<br /> <br />1) Thanksgiving (1:4–9) <br />2) Division in Corinth (1:10–4:21) <br />3) Immorality in Corinth (5:1–6:20) <br />4) Difficulties in Corinth (7:1–14:40) <br />5) The Doctrine of the Resurrection (15:1–58) <br />6) Closing Remarks (16:1–24). <br /><br />In general, the letter is rich in instruction and covers many relevant issues for Christians today. This collection of St. John Chrysostom homilies on the letter gives us a chance to hear one of the greatest minds of the early church expound on its contents. - Summary by ancientchristian
