Synopsis

This book provides a series of sermons exploring various beliefs and ideals from the First Epistle to the Corinthians. The author, a missionary in India, begins by addressing the cultural scene in Corinth at the time of the letter's composition. He then asserts that in order to reconcile the ideals of culture and self-denial, one must consider Jesus Christ, and his example of living by the Cross. While many of the Corinthians were inclined to attach great weight to knowledge, wisdom, and brilliance, the author reminds them that religious truth is in a different realm altogether, one that can be apprehended via revelation and the Spirit. The author also discusses the critical significance of the doctrine of the Resurrection and its implications for Christian life and hope. He concludes with an important discussion of the unity of the body of Christ, and the differentiation of functions within that body, emphasizing that the more highly developed an organism, the greater its unity, and likewise the more minute the division of its functions.
