1 and 2 Corinthians

Upon reading 1 Corinthians:

1. What can you say regarding Paul's sources of information about the congregation to which he's writing?

2. Judging from the clarifications that Paul makes and the non-Christian behavior that he confronts in this letter, what would you say is at the heart of the problems at Corinth?

Upon reading 2 Corinthians:

3. What would you say has transpired in the congregation since Paul wrote 1 Corinthians?

4. How would you describe Paul's opponents at Corinth?

5. What do you think are the basic differences between what Paul teaches and stands for compared to his opponents at Corinth?
