Book Synopsis Reading the Corinthian Correspondence by : Kevin Quast
Download or read book Reading the Corinthian Correspondence written by Kevin Quast and published by ARPress. This book was released on 2003-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Corinthian Correspondence is a clear and concise introduction to the two letters Paul wrote to Corinth, a community plagued by internal divisions, social and ethnic distinctions, and diversity of congregations. Kevin Quast begins this study with an overview of Paul's life, influences, and missionary career. The author then moves to a vivid description of the city of Corinth and the church there. He devotes the next twelve chapters to an in-depth, paragraph-by-paragraph treatment of 1 and 2 Corinthians. Within these chapters, Dr. Quast deals with the wide variety of issues that Paul addressed - including private and public relationships, matters of worship, resurrection, and the nature of true Christian ministry. In the two concluding chapters, he offers invaluable insights into both the literary aspects and prevading themes that characterize the letters of Paul. Ever mindful of his modern readers, the author bridges the first century and today with penetrating commentary, provocative questions, and substantive summary charts. Kevin Quast is Academic Vice President of Taylor University College, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. For twelve years, he was professor of New Testament at Ontario Theological Seminary (now Tyndale Seminary), where he continues as an associate professor of New Testament. He is author of Peter and the Beloved Disciple: Figures for a Community in Crisis (1989) and Reading the Gospel of John: An Introduction (1991), as well as numerous academic and popular articles.

Book Synopsis Holiness and Community in 2 Cor 6:14–7:1 by : J. Ayodeji Adewuya
Download or read book Holiness and Community in 2 Cor 6:14–7:1 written by J. Ayodeji Adewuya and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines 2 Cor 6:14--7:1 and argues that its theological message is communal holiness. It culminates in an attempt to posit a Pauline theology of corporate sanctification in the Corinthian correspondence. Paul's view of sanctification, it is argued, should be seen as multifaceted: relational, communal, ethical, and mission-oriented. Thus, a coherent picture of Pauline teaching on holiness in the Corinthian correspondence emerges from this book. For Paul, the focus of God's redemptive activity is, primarily, the community and not the individual. Paul's view on holiness has to do with communal holiness within the people of God, the goal of which is to make God known to the wider society. In sum, this book argues that the teaching on holiness should not be, and cannot be, satisfactorily explained in terms of the individual, but only as the individual stands in relation to the community of faith. Thus, the conclusion offers a corrective to some strands of modern interpretation that emphasize the individualistic, experiential aspects of Christian holiness, thus tending to reduce Christian holiness to morality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cavan W. Concannon makes a significant contribution to Pauline studies by imagining the responses of the Corinthians to Paul’s letters.

Book Synopsis Metaphors and Social Identity Formation in Paul's Letters to the Corinthians by : Kar Yong Lim
Download or read book Metaphors and Social Identity Formation in Paul's Letters to the Corinthians written by Kar Yong Lim and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-05 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why did Paul frequently employ a diverse range of metaphors in his letters to the Corinthians? Was the choice of these metaphors a random act or a carefully crafted rhetorical strategy? Did the use of metaphors shape the worldview and behavior of the Christ-followers? In this innovative work, Kar Yong Lim draws upon Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Social Identity Theory to answer these questions. Lim illustrates that Paul employs a cluster of metaphors--namely, sibling, familial, temple, and body metaphors--as cognitive tools that are central to how humans process information, construct reality, and shape group identity. Carefully chosen, these metaphors not only add colors to Paul's rhetorical strategy but also serve as a powerful tool of communication in shaping the thinking, governing the behavior, and constructing the social identity of the Corinthian Christ-followers.

Book Synopsis Christianity at Corinth by : Edward Adams

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Corinthians provides a unique glimpse info the life of a young Christian community in a Greco-Roman environment during the early decades of emerging Christianity. It supplies a range and richness of information about the early church that is unparalleled by any other New Testament document. Much effort has gone into reconstructing Christianity at Corinth; more recently, attention has focused on the Corinthian community itself. The scholarly picture of the Corinthian Christians throughout the period of modern interpretation has been far from constant, and their profile has altered as interpretive fashions have shifted. This collection of classic and new essays charts the history of the scholarly quest for the Corinthian church from F. C. Baur to the present day, and offers the reflections of leading scholars on where the quest has taken us and its future direction.

He makes these letters as timely and as applicable today as they were when written centuries ago. His lucid style and detailed interpretation illuminate the whole text, so that the Epistles become as fascinating to the lay reader as to the minister and Bible student. In this volume Dr. Morgan's sturdy faith stands out like a beacon, and his instinctive insight and close scrutiny bring out all the force of Christianity's greatest apostle.

Book Synopsis The Corinthian Correspondence by : Helen Doohan
Download or read book The Corinthian Correspondence written by Helen Doohan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Corinthian correspondence and the community it reflects are exciting and exasperating, interesting and complex. The letters offer us a window of opportunity to view Paul's personal and pastoral presence in his growing relationship with this church. Struggling with his own history, the history of the community, and the newness of the Gospel he preaches, Paul identifies an approach that balances tradition and innovation, theological foundations and principles of action. The passion, persuasion, and purpose of the apostle permeate these letters, and no one is unaware that the Lord Jesus is the center of his Gospel message and of his life. Paul offers insight into the commitment of early apostles, disciples, and ministers in the Corinthian community. He personally experiences the dying and rising of Christ in his work with this community, giving a ring of truth to his own assessment of Christian life and ministry. Only faith transforms adversity into an opportunity for growth, and Paul's faith and perseverance offer hope to those of us who continue to experience the paradoxes of Christian life and ministry.
