Restitutio 585 1 Corinthians in Context 2: Paul Founds the Church at Corinth
Jan 30, 2025

How did Christianity come to Corinth in the first place? Although many times we are left speculating about how an ancient church got started, we have definitive knowledge about the Corinthian church from Luke, Paul’s traveling companion. In what follows we’ll work through Acts chapter 18 to see how Paul initially founded the church in Corinth. We’ll also take time to consider what life was like for Paul as a tentmaker, how he broke from the synagogue, and how we date Paul’s time there using the Gallio inscription from Delphi.
Scriptures Covered: Acts 18.1-19; 1 Thessalonians 2.9; 2 Thessalonians 3.7-8
