After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
Corinth in the Bible
Corinth was a major Greek city where Paul spent an extended period preaching and forming a church during his missionary work. Acts connects him there with Aquila and Priscilla and with opposition before the proconsul Gallio. The New Testament letters of 1 and 2 Corinthians address the life, conflicts and theology of the church in this city.
Historical Context
Roman Corinth occupied a strategic position near the isthmus linking central Greece with the Peloponnese, giving it commercial and cultural importance. That setting helps explain the social diversity and pressures visible in Paul's correspondence, while the letters themselves remain the primary evidence for understanding the Christian community.
