LatestIn Paul’s day, the city of Corinth was known for two things: drunkenness and sexual decadence of all kinds. The word “Corinthian” was even used in Greek plays to describe someone with poor morals or drunken behavior. And yet in a community like this, a church was born – a community of believers who has bowed the knee to Jesus Christ. These were people who came from Corinth, who had been shaped and molded by the culture around them. How would they live out the Jesus message when all of their friends, businesses, and political leaders were intertwined with this decadent, drunken world? Join Paul in Corinth and discover with the believers there how to live and preach in the “Corinth” you call home.
The idea for That the World May Know films began in 1992 when Michigan entrepreneur Ed Prince became exposed to Ray Vander Laan's unique method of Bible teaching. Ray, or RVL as he is affectionately known, has always believed that to more greatly understand and appreciate the Bible, one had to have a sense of the land and the culture from which it sprang. Biblical analogies and examples, while meaningful and helpful even to this day, were first meant to convey God's truth to particular people in a particular time and place. So the more fully we can appreciate those times and places, the more fully we can respond to the power of the Word.
