The Corinthian church was home to a wide array of different eth-nicities, cultures, and social classes. Consequently, the church had numerousproblemslivingoutitsproperidentityasthebodyof Christ. The message of 1 Corinthians arises from Pauls urgent pas-toral concern to help a localized church behave and live as a church should. Authors Michael H. Burer and David B. Kieffer show how, with deep theological reflection and application, Paul addresses the factionalism, social stratification, theological issues, and harmful behaviors that had been imported into the church. Paul wrote to remind the Corinthians of their identity in Christ and to convince them to live in line with that identity, an issue that finds clear connec-tions to the church today.Based on the Big Idea preaching model, Kerux enhances the read-ers ability to deliver a message that is biblical, cohesive, and dynamic.Michael H.
