Background & History

Southern Kingdom Introduction

October 8, 2020 by Krisan Marotta

After the death of King Solomon, two of his sons, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, fought for the throne. When Rehoboam harshly raised taxes on the people, the 10 northern tribes rebelled and installed Jeroboam as their king, creating the northern kingdom of Israel. The two southern tribes, Benjamin and Judah, remained with Rehoboam and became the kingdom of Judah.

Corinthians: How many letters did Paul write to Corinth?

April 11, 2019 by Krisan Marotta

How many letters did the Apostle Paul write to the Corinthian church?  The answer is not as easy as it sounds.  We have two letters to the church at Corinth in our Bible, but both of these letters mention another letter. Many scholars believe Paul wrote four letters to the Corinthian church but only two of them survived.   If they are right, the chronology of Paul’s correspondence and visits to Corinth might look something like this.
