St. Paul founded the Church in Corinth on his second missionary journey. Within only a few short years the Church in Corinth was rocked by a series of cataclysmic crises, both moral and theological. Upon hearing the situation, Paul penned two letters, known today as 1st & 2nd Corinthians. These letters are among the most important in the entire Pauline corpus, not only for the Church two millennia ago, but also for the Church today.
