Description
The problems of boasting, division, and human wisdom are apparent in 1 Corinthians 1-4. Addressing their interrelated nature, Dr. Richard Rojas argues they are rooted in a false understanding of wisdom. He skilfully explores how Paul's response to the issues is found in his wisdom teaching, especially the meaning and significance of "Christ, the wisdom of God." In this detailed study, Dr. Rojas presents a sociological and rhetorical analysis of 1 Corinthians 1-4 that brings a fresh perspective on Paul's response to church tension with important truths for churches today. Pauline scholars and church practitioners alike will find in these pages a rich resource on 1 Corinthians and Paul's teaching.
