About this listen
 Did the apostle Paul write more letters to the church in Corinth than the two we have in our Bibles today? Surprisingly, the New Testament itself suggests that some of Paul's correspondence with the Corinthians has not survived. In 1 Corinthians 5:9, Paul refers to an earlier letter, while 2 Corinthians 2:3–4 and 7:8 mention another deeply emotional letter that caused sorrow among the believers.
In this Bible study, we investigate the mystery of the missing letters to Corinth. How many letters did Paul actually write? What was happening inside the Corinthian church that required such intense communication? And why do scholars believe that some passages in 2 Corinthians may preserve material from more than one original letter?
We explore the historical background of Paul's relationship with Corinth, the divisions, moral problems, false teachers, and conflicts that threatened the church. We also examine the difference between what Scripture explicitly tells us and what historians and biblical scholars reconstruct from the evidence.
Discover why these missing letters matter, what they reveal about Paul's heart as a spiritual leader, and how the surviving letters help us understand the challenges of the early Christian church. Sometimes, the Bible gives us clues not only about what has been preserved, but also about the history behind the pages.
