You are probably thinking of the Greek city of Corinth, which was an independent city-state until 146 BC, when it was destroyed by the Roman army. Corinth was refounded 102 years later by General Julius Caesar, and had a quite diverse population, including, eventually, a significant Christian community. It is to this community that the two epistles to the Corinthians were directed. Since that time, Corinth has been destroyed and refounded multiple times, and is currently the capital of the Greek prefecture of Corinthia. I've added some linked to Wikipedia articles with further details.

How many letters did Paul write to Corinth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the New Testament, there are two letters or epistles from Paul to the Corinthians, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However, reference within those works suggest the existence of probably two additional letters, written during the same period.

Liberal Scholars have looked at these references and many believe that the additional letters are actually part of what we now perceive as the two epistles. In other words, 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians are probably composites of four or five original epistles.

Conservative Scholars have looked closely at these letters and conclude there were only two surviving letters to be assimilated into our current Bible. They are respectively 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians. However there is internal evidence within the scriptures of 1 and 2 Corinthians that suggests that two letters were lost. In 1 Cor. 5:9 Paul refers to a "former letter", and in 2 Cor. 2:4 Paul refers to a "sorrowful letter." There actually were four letters and two were lost.

Well, the ancient city-state of Corinth was one of the Greek city-states, so the inhabitants of the city followed the Greek mythology. There were several different temples inside the city, perhaps the most famous is the temple of Aphrodite.
