CHAPTER

Unraveling Corinthian Wisdom

This chapter explores the journey of a biblical scholar examining the intricate relationship between early Christian studies and Greco-Roman philosophy, focusing on Corinthian wisdom. The speaker critiques common interpretations of Paul's letters, challenging the notion that conflict in the Corinthian church was merely social or economic, and emphasizes the need for deeper theological understanding. By analyzing the implications of 'Sophia' and the mischaracterization of wisdom, the chapter highlights significant historical and philosophical contexts shaping the Corinthian community's beliefs.
