Paul for Everyone: 1 Corinthians (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

What is Christianity? A philosophy? A set of ideas? A path to spirituality? A rule of life? Is it even a political agenda?



Christianity is none of these things, yet it includes and, indeed, gives energy to them all. Christianity is a way of life. It is rooted in the good news revealed by an event that rocked the world. And those who believe this good news and live by it experience deep and lasting change.



This is Paul's message to the Corinthians - and to us today.



Making use of his true scholar's understanding, yet writing in an approachable and anecdotal style, Tom Wright captures the dauntless power of these letters. They were written by Paul while in prison facing the possibility of imminent death, yet burn with undimmed passion. Paul seeks to help direct the growing faith where his influence might prove crucial, and writes a very personal letter to a slave-owner on behalf of a runaway.
