If We Understood the Cross

Summary

Paul confronts the Corinthian church for muddying the gospel by chasing intellectual credibility and celebrity teachers. Through 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5, he argues that the cross's apparent foolishness is God's power, that believers are called not for worldly wisdom but for Christ alone, and that proclaiming the gospel requires humble dependence on God, not eloquent rhetoric.
