When Paul applies temple language to the Corinthians by calling them naos theou (“God’s temple”), he sparks a creative process between the temple and the Corinthian assembly, enabling the Corinthians to see themselves in a new light.

Join us as we speak with Tony Basham about his recent book, Paul, the Temple, and Building a Metaphor (Bloomsbury, 2024).

David Anthony Basham (PhD, McGill University) is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Ashland Theological Seminary in Ashland, Ohio.
