Modern Day Corinthians


"The problem with the Corinthian church was not so much that they were relapsing into paganism, as that their Christian faith, however sincere, had not yet transformed the worldview they had adopted from the surrounding culture. They had not grasped how the theology of the cross not only constitutes our basis for our salvation but also and inevitably teaches how to live and serve - and such teaching is in radical contradistinction to a world dominated by self-promotion and social climbing" - DA Carson & Doug Moo, Intro to the New Testament p. 427
