3rd Corinthians is a correspondence traditionally attributed to Paul with the intention of discrediting Christian Gnosticism. According to the narrative, the exchange begins when the elders of the church in Corinth send a letter to Paul, asking him for theological clarity as they confront the growing influence of Gnostic teachings. Emotionally distressed, Paul sends back a letter condemning heresy and affirming orthodox doctrine. This pair of epistles offers valuable insights into the theological controversies that characterized early Christian communities.
