Authorship: Paul.
Date: 55 A.D.
Audience: Christians in Corinth.
Genre: A long letter written in Koine Greek.
*aha!: A clever tactic that Paul employs in his writing of this letter is his use of the word ‘about’. Normally, this word might give off an uninterested air, but it enables Paul to address several topics that were of need in Corinth. Among these topics were the issues of marriage, virgins, food offered to idols, spiritual gifts, the collection for the saints in Jerusalem, and Apollos. Paul also effectively answered some bigger issues by addressing the matter of division in the Church, and most notably, the high level of immorality occurring in Corinth.
