The Corinthians were immature in their conformity to Christ. Much had changed but much more remained to be changed. That is the goal of Paul's ministry to them, the intent of his several letters, to teach them what it meant to be in Christ, to exhort and encourage them to conform their behavior to biblical standards.
The Book of First Corinthians was written ca. AD 57, from Ephesus, in the third year of Paul's third missionary journey (AD 54?58). The book is partly a response to a prior letter to Paul from the Corinthians, 5:9; 7:1, partly to address troubling issues reported to Paul by those of Chloe (i.e., of her household), 1:11, and to address issues Paul had heard from others, 5:1. Many doctrinal issues and things of the practical Christian life are addressed in this letter.

James D. Quiggle was born in 1952 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. He grew up in Kansas and the Texas Panhandle. In the early 1970s he joined the United States Air Force. At his first permanent assignment in Indian Springs, Nevada in a small Baptist church, the pastor introduced him to Jesus and soon after he was saved. Over the next ten years those he met in churches from the East Coast to the West Coast, mature Christian men, poured themselves into mentoring him. In the 1970s he was gifted with the Scofield Bible Course from Moody Bible Institute. As he completed his studies his spiritual gift of teaching became even more apparent. He earned a bachelor's degree from Bethany Bible College during the 1980s while still in the Air Force. Between 2006?2008, after his career in the Air Force and with his children grown up, he decided to continue his education. He enrolled in Bethany Divinity College and Seminary and earned a Master of Arts in Religion and a Master of Theological Studies.
As an extension of his spiritual gift of teaching, he was prompted by the Holy Spirit to begin writing books. James Quiggle is now a Christian author with over fifty commentaries on Bible books and doctrines. He is an editor for the Evangelical Dispensational Quarterly Journal published by Scofield Biblical Institute and Theological Seminary.
He continues to write and has a vibrant teaching ministry through social media.
