1 Corinthians is Paul’s most varied letter with the apostle handling a number of different subjects. The single theme holding the whole letter together, however, is the calling to Christians live our present lives in a manner that anticipates as much as possible their future resurrection. Christians can sometimes substitute ‘the sure and certain hope of the resurrection’ for ‘the vague sense that it will all pan out in the end’. 1 Corinthians, shows us, by contrast, that being really clear about eschatology (ie how God is going to make things end up) is really vital for giving us really clear direction on how we should be living in the present.
