Readings 25 June to 9 September

1 CORINTHIANS

St. Paul visited Athens and then established a Christian community in Corinth, a seaport in Greece, about the year 51 AD, on his second missionary journey from Antioch, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles (15:36-18:22). First Letter to the Corinthians provides us with excellent insight into the life of the early Christian Church in the middle of the first century AD.
