Unity, Chastity, Sexuality, Marriage, and Paul. Lincoln Blumell on 1 Corinthians 1-7 (week of Aug. 21, second to listen to)

In this episode Kerry and Lincoln Blumell discuss Corinth, the saints there, their challenges, and Paul's timely and timeless teachings in the first seven chapters of 1 Corinthians. They help us understand the importance of unity, and Paul's approach to chastity. They also go in depth into the often misunderstood teachings about marriage and sexuality that we find in this epistle. Looking at the letter more closely they help us understand the interaction of mission service, marriage, and sexual relations, and misunderstandings about celibacy.
