Conflict in Corinth: A Surprising Way to Build a Community

Journal of Biblical Counseling 28:2

This article takes 2 Corinthians 7:2-16 and shows how Paul’s faith guides his intensely emotional involvement with the Corinthian church. Paul’s response to the painful conflict is the furthest thing from “clinical detachment” because he is able to care openly in pursuing their welfare. Based on this model for ministry, Midgley offers reflections on how to examine your own approach to conflict.
