S6 CRE Notes: Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians

These Senior Six revision notes cover Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians for A-Level Christian Religious Education. They explain who wrote the letter, who it was addressed to and why Paul wrote it. The notes describe the problems in the Corinthian church, including divisions, lawsuits, incest, prostitution, idol worship and misuse of the Lord's Supper and spiritual gifts. They set out the rival groups that followed Paul, Peter, Apollos and Christ, what caused the divisions and why they were dangerous. They also summarise Paul's teaching on unity and on human versus divine wisdom. Each topic is linked to lessons for Christians today and to causes of division in the modern church in Uganda.
