  • St. John Chrysostom on First Corinthians, Volume 1 by CHRYSOSTOM, St. John | LibriVox's New Releases

    The First Epistle to the Corinthians is attributed to St. Paul the Apostle and a co-author named Sosthenes, and is addressed to the materially wealthy Christian church in Corinth. The letter can be divided as follows:
    1) Thanksgiving (1:4–9)
    2) Division in Corinth (1:10–4:21)
    3) Immorality in Corinth (5:1–6:20)
    4) Difficulties in Corinth (7:1–14:40)
    5) The Doctrine of the Resurrection (15:1–58)
    6) Closing Remarks (16:1–24).

    In general, the letter is rich in instruction and covers many relevant issues for Christians today. This collection of St. John Chrysostom homilies on the letter gives us a chance to hear one of the greatest minds of the early church expound on its contents. - Summary by ancientchristian
