Introduction to 1 Corinthians (Audio)

The following audio introduction comes from a previously podcast series on 1 Corinthians.  It will serve as introductory notes for the various comments I will make on passages from 1 Corinthians.  I think it is very important to consider the structure of the letter in understanding these passages.  The first epistle to the Corinthians is often regarded as mildly disorganized, but I disagree.  Paul is speaking on a central theme and relating the questions he is asking back to that theme.

I also strongly commend Dr. Gordon Fee’s commentary on 1 Corinthians in the New International Commentary on the New Testament series.  I regard it as the best commentary on a single book of the Bible that I have ever used.
