Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theologizing in the Corinthian Conflict is a collection of twenty exegetical studies on 2 Corinthians. Most of the texts were originally presented as papers during the annual meetings of the European Association of Biblical Studies. Some of the literary-critical issues of 2 Corinthians are touched upon in several contributions. Other essays focus on a variety of theological and interpretive questions: hermeneutics, the narrative and social world, revelation terminology, Paul's theology of God and Christ, the understanding of the Spirit, the letter and the Spirit, conflict and reconciliation, poverty and wealth, debt theology and the collection, identity formation, synagogue beatings, parental beneficence, new creation and righteousness of God, dying for and being raised for, life after death, eschatology and new covenant, mysticism. In their diversity, the contributions of this book have in common that they are concerned with theological topics in exegetical perspective using a variety of approaches and methodologies. The goal of this book is not to reconstruct the theology of Paul, but to gain a deeper understanding of Paul's theologizing in the Corinthian context of conflict and reconciliation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ivar Vegge argues that Paul, in line with ancient moral philosophers, letter-writers, and rhetoricians, used idealized praise in 2 Cor 1-9, and particularly in 2 Cor 7:5-16, and blame or threats, especially in 2 Cor 10-13, to promote reconciliation between the Corinthians and Paul as apostle."--BOOK JACKET.
Book Synopsis The Theology of the First Letter to the Corinthians by : Victor Paul Furnish
Download or read book The Theology of the First Letter to the Corinthians written by Victor Paul Furnish and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-13 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shows that the common view of 1 Corinthians as mainly about 'ethics' and therefore of little importance for 'theology' needs correcting. Furnish argues that 1 Corinthians is an even better place to take the apostle's theological pulse than the allegedly 'more theological' letters to the Galatians and Romans, because here it is especially evident how his thinking about the gospel took place within the crucible of his missionary and pastoral labours. Paul's complex theological legacy is not a systematic theology or even the basis for constructing a theological system. However, we come close to the heart of Paul's legacy in his clear-sighted identification of the gospel with the saving power of God's love as disclosed in Christ, and his insistence that those who are called to belong to Christ are thereby summoned to be agents of God's love wherever in the world they have received that call.
Book Synopsis The Theology of the Second Letter to the Corinthians by : Jerome Murphy-O'Connor
Download or read book The Theology of the Second Letter to the Corinthians written by Jerome Murphy-O'Connor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1991-05-31 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Letter to the Corinthians is one of Paul's most intriguing epistles. In reality, it comprises two documents. In the first, Paul cautiously attempts to repair the damage done to his relations with the Corinthians by an earlier letter (1 Corinthians) and to deal with the upset caused by the presence in Corinth of rival missionaries from Jerusalem. In the second, he reacts angrily against an unexpected further deterioration of the situation at Corinth. The resonances in the dialogue between Paul and the parties in question cannot be detected easily without some awareness on the reader's part of the social, religious, and economic situation of the Christian community to which Paul was writing. The aim of this book is to integrate such background information into a flowing exposition of the apostle's thought, and thus to bring Paul's theology to life by highlighting the complex interplay of factors which prompted him to write in the way he did. Father Murphy-O'Connor is an experienced New Testament scholar, and his lucid survey - while providing an accessible introduction to the epistle and its central concerns - brings new insights into the relation of Christ to the ministry of the church.

Book Synopsis The Theology of the First Letter to the Corinthians by : Victor Paul Furnish
Download or read book The Theology of the First Letter to the Corinthians written by Victor Paul Furnish and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-06-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shows that the common view of 1 Corinthians as mainly about "ethics" and therefore of little importance for "theology" needs correcting. Many other studies of the letter focus mainly on the details of the Corinthian situation and the moral teachings Paul conveyed to his congregation. While not ignoring these, Furnish's primary aim is to explore and clarify the theological orientation of 1 Corinthians, and what it can contribute to an understanding of Paul as a theologian. Furnish concludes that 1 Corinthians is important for both ethics and theology.

Book Synopsis Conflict in Corinth by : Charles Kevin Robertson
Download or read book Conflict in Corinth written by Charles Kevin Robertson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Paul faced a «double dilemma» in the first-century church in Corinth: although there appears to have been a divisive spirit in the congregation, there was little conflict between the church and its relational environment. Conflict in Corinth examines the situation in Corinth and Paul's response to it by utilizing principles and imagery from systems thinking. Inadequate group boundaries and confusion regarding the unique identity of the Christian community gave rise to numerous seemingly unrelated problems. As illustrated throughout the work, Paul used family relationships and images to redefine the church system and reconfigure its internal relationships.

Book Synopsis 2 Corinthians: A Short Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary by : Anthony C. Thiselton
Download or read book 2 Corinthians: A Short Exegetical and Pastoral Commentary written by Anthony C. Thiselton and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this clear, practical, and relatively brief commentary, Anthony Thiselton brings to bear his intimate knowledge of Paul’s theology, the ancient city of Corinth, and Paul’s epistles to the church of that city. The commentary is not only critical and exegetical, but also has a focus on practical and pastoral reflection. Second Corinthians is Paul’s most passionate epistle. It shows him to be a man of very deep feeling, who sometimes has to be frank, even blunt, with those who seek to undermine his work. In this commentary, we see the inner turmoil of a devoted missionary pastor and apostle. We also have the opportunity to explore how power can be expressed through weakness by pastors and all Christians who follow a Christ crucified and risen.
Book Synopsis Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Corinthians by : Timothy A. Brookins
Download or read book Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Corinthians written by Timothy A. Brookins and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new reading of 1 Corinthians in light of Greco-Roman philosophy The First Letter to the Corinthians begins with an admonishment of the church over their internal division and reliance on human wisdom. What exactly occasioned Paul’s advice has perennially troubled New Testament scholars. Many scholars have asserted that Paul disapproved of the Corinthians’ infatuation with rhetoric. Yet careful exegesis of the epistle problematizes this consensus. Timothy A. Brookins unsettles common assumptions about the Corinthian conflict in this innovative monograph. His close reading of 1 Corinthians 1–4 presents evidence that the Corinthian problem had roots in Stoicism. The wisdom Paul alludes to is not sophistry, but a Stoic-inspired understanding of natural hierarchy, in which the wise put themselves above believers they considered spiritually underdeveloped. Moreover, Paul’s followers saw themselves as a philosophical school in rivalry with other Christians, engendering divisions in the church. Combining scriptural exegesis and investigation of Greco-Roman philosophical culture, Brookins reconstructs the social sphere of Corinth that Paul addresses in his letter. His masterful analysis provides much needed clarity on the context of a major epistle and on Pauline theology more broadly.
Book Synopsis Unity of Corinthian Correspondence by : David R. Hall
Download or read book Unity of Corinthian Correspondence written by David R. Hall and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Unity of the Corinthian Correspondence, David Hall argues that 1 and 2 Corinthians are closely related. In both letters, Paul faces the same opponents, referring to them in the same disguised, indirect way in both 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians 19 before confronting them directly in 2 Corinthians 1013. Furthermore, many passages in 2 Corinthians echo the teaching of 1 Corinthians, while others refer to the Corinthian reaction to the first letter. Hall therefore maintains that modern attempts to regard 1 and 2 Corinthians as a mosaic of fragments are based on a flawed methodology that fail to appreciate Pauls pastoral teaching.
Book Synopsis Conversion at Corinth by : Stephen J. Chester
Download or read book Conversion at Corinth written by Stephen J. Chester and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-11-17 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's conversion and its impact on his theology has been studied extensively. Yet little has been done to relate this to Paul's attitude towards the conversion of others, or to perspectives on conversion held by converts in the churches Paul founded. Soteriology is often considered in isolation from the practical issues of how conversion was expected to take place and the nature of its expected consequences. This book addresses these issues, taking account of recent developments in conversion studies in the social sciences and other disciplines. Stephen Chester first reviews these developments and assesses the potential value of sociologist Anthony Gidden's general social theory of structuration. He then utilizes this to explore Paul's perspectives on conversion in relation to both Gentile and Jewish converts. He also explores the Corinthians' perspectives on conversion in the context of Graeco-Roman religious and social life. Here emerges a fascinating account of perspectives on conversion in the crucial formative years of early Christianity.
Book Synopsis 1 Corinthians by : Anthony C. Thiselton
Download or read book 1 Corinthians written by Anthony C. Thiselton and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11-07 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthony Thiselton s lengthy New International Greek Testament Commentary volume The First Epistle to the Corinthians (2000) has become a standard work on 1 Corinthians. In this "shorter" commentary Thiselton draws on his excellent exegesis from that volume but combines it afresh with keen practical and pastoral application for readers at all levels. Thiselton delves deeply into the context and text of Paul s first Corinthian letter as he suggests, section by section, how the book applies to pastoral and practical issues. He draws vivid parallels between the growing church in Corinth and the twenty-first-century church, demonstrating that today's church also faces a seductive culture of competition and consumerism. The church in Corinth preferred its self-centered theology to the Christ-centered gospel of the wider apostolic church. Paul s response in 1 Corinthians, amplified by Thiselton s commentary, becomes a living, practical, transforming word from God for Christians today.
Book Synopsis The Second Letter to the Corinthians by : Mark A. Seifrid
Download or read book The Second Letter to the Corinthians written by Mark A. Seifrid and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-09 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question that Paul set before the ancient church in Corinth -- Do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in and among you? (2 Cor 13:5) -- remains a critical question for the church today. This commentary by Mark Seifrid seeks to hear Paul s message afresh and communicate it to our time. Seifrid offers a unified reading of 2 Corinthians, which has often been regarded as a composite of excerpts and fragments. He argues that Paul s message is directed at the practical atheism of the Corinthian church -- the hidden heresy that assumes God s saving work in the world may be measured by outward standards of success and achievement. Like all of the Pillar volumes, Seifrid s commentary on 2 Corinthians offers careful grammatical analysis and exegesis with clear pastoral application.
Book Synopsis The First Epistle to the Corinthians by : Anthony C. Thiselton
Download or read book The First Epistle to the Corinthians written by Anthony C. Thiselton and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2000-11-22 with total page 1490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superb volume in the New International Greek Testament Commentary series provides the most detailed, definitive, and distinctive commentary on 1 Corinthians available in English to date. One of the world's most respected Christian theologians, Anthony Thiselton here provides in-depth discussion of the language of 1 Corinthians, presents his own careful translation of the Greek, traces the main issues of interpretation from the church fathers to the present, and highlights topics of theological, ethical, and sociohistorical interest today, including ethics and "rights," marriage, divorce and remarriage, "headship," gender, prophecy, and many others. No other commentary on 1 Corinthians embodies the wealth and depth of detail presented in Thiselton's work, which takes account of nearly all scholarly research on 1 Corinthians and incorporates substantial bibliographies throughout. In his commentary Thiselton indeed addresses virtually every question that thoughtful, serious readers -- scholars, students, pastors, teachers -- may wish to ask of or about the text of 1 Corinthians. His work truly offers a fresh, comprehensive, and original contribution to our understanding of this major epistle and its contemporary relevance.
