Note:   Reading Paul's letters calls for a real understanding of his times. and events taking place in his churches. Many of his letters address specific issues. In some cases these are legal issues surrounding the bringing of Gentiles in to what was essentially a Jewish religion. In some cases, they relate to problems being experienced by the churches. In Corinth especially, there were problems associated with the wealth and cosmopolitan nature of the city, and it was here that Paul's character came under serious attack from the leaders of cults trying to take over his congregation.
