In this shortcast Kerry gives the background behind Paul's letter to the Corinthians and summarizes the key elements of the letter so that the listener can understand how each piece of the letter fits into the bigger picture. He helps us understand Corinth itself, and Paul's life and purpose at the time of writing the epistle, all of which will help us understand his teachings.We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for our editor, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
