Catholic Scripture Study International

, 2010

Overview

Includes 16 lessons with suggested responses and commentary on the biblical text.

In Paul’s letters to Corinthians, he addresses ongoing problems experienced in the Church at Corinth. These problems included dissension, immorality, lawsuits, liturgical abuses, and their tendency to fall prey to “false teachers.” Paul tackles each of these problems with his typical spiritual zeal, strengthening their faith and their commitment to build up the Body of Christ. Two thousand years later, as we struggle with much the same problems, Paul’s words of wisdom are both pertinent and valuable.

In Logos, these Catholic Scripture Study International studies work even smarter. See Scripture, Catechism, and Church document references appear on mouseover, and instantly find what other authors in your library have to say on the topic. Take notes and share them with your small group on Faithlife, or lead your small group straight from the instructional guide always accessible on your tablet, smart phone, or laptop.
