Letters to the Corinthians

Saint Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians reads like a letter from a concerned parent who wishes to share wisdom-and a warning-with his or her children reflectinf Paul's own suffering as well as his desire to have the Corinthians change their ways. In his Second Letter to the Corinthians, his words express many different emotions- anger, compassion, forgivness, love, and sorrow. As you study these letters written by St. Paul, the church of Corinth exemplifies the fact that arguments are familiar to the Christian journey. But we are reminded in these letters that the Holy Spirit is with us and will work through us-and that our deepest call is to love God and one another.
