Corinth was a busy cosmopolitan city in the first century Roman Empire - a melting pot of different cultures, religions and languages. It was to this city that Paul took the gospel. It wasn't easy but he saw people from different backgrounds becoming Christians and a church began to grow. It was to this church, in this city, that around 3 years years later Paul sat down to write a letter, that we now know as 1 Corinthians.
