Challenges for Today's Living is not a commentary on 1 Corinthians. Instead, the book seeks to follow the thematic approach the apostle Paul used in his letter to the church at Corinth. Tuck explores at least ten of these themes and examines how they can be applied to the ways believers can serve Christ through the local church today and the challenges we face in daily life. Among these themes, he addresses our present sins, social and ethical issues, basic theological
beliefs, guidance for worship and stewardship, and the quest for the high road in our religious journey.
