Creating CommunitiesLetter to the CorinthiansSt. Paul established a

Christian community in Corinth

The book is rich in content, as it includes key passages on the Eucharist (Chapter 11), the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit (Chapter 12), on love (Chapter 13), and on the Resurrection of the Body (Chapter 15).

Jake Ruffenach

Paul’s Concern Paul wrote this letter to correct what he saw

as erroneous views in the Corinthian church. Several sources informed Paul of conflicts within the church at Corinth

In general, sections within the church at Corinth seem to be a problem, and Paul makes it a point to mention these conflicts in the beginning. Paul wants to bring them back to what he sees as correct doctrine, saying that God has given him the opportunity to be a “skilled master builder” to lay the foundation and let others build upon it

Dominic Villari Billy Dougherty And Brendan Colivas

Paul’s advice to the people of Corinth

1. Be happy 2. Grow in Christ 3. Pay attention to what I have to say. 4. Live in harmony and peace. 5. May the God of love and peace be with

you. 6. May the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ

be with you all. 7. May God’s love and the Holy Spirit’s

friendship be yours.Bikeem LammonsRyan Leimbach

Periods 1 and 7

According to tradition, Peter established the line of popes in Rome.

He baptized the Roman pagan Cornelius, and at the Council of Jerusalem he gave his support to preaching to Gentiles.

It is certain that Peter died in Rome and that his martyrdom came during the reign of Emperor Nero
