Revisits the controversies that threatened the Corinthian church, enabling us to see both the snares to avoid and the goal of godliness to be pursued.

"In 20 Controversies That Almost Killed a Church, author Richard L. Ganz breaks down 1 Corinthians into twenty topics addressed by the apostle Paul almost 2,000 years ago, and advises contemporary believers on ways to avoid those same traps. Each chapter reviews a section of the letter, providing cross references, application, and current examples for insight. In the section about church discipline, he writes: 'Our society has been distancing its morality from the Word of God in recent times, but that is not a new occurrence in history. Even the Corinthian church, centuries ago, had problems of immorality…Redeemed sinners, to remain in the church, must live holy lives. This does not mean that they do not sin, but it means that when they do sin, they confess their sins to God and strive even more for that holiness…'

"Ganz has made this book very readable and accessible to anyone interested in understanding God’s word. In addition to the twenty topics, the book includes a complete index of scriptures referenced within, and a thoughtful discussion guide for book clubs or study guides. 20 Controversies That Almost Killed a Church is great as an added reference for a Bible study, or as a standalone study into pressures of the Christian life and how we are to respond." -- Stacy Oliver, Christian Book Previews
