BIBL 5253 - Corinthian Correspondence

3 credits

A course focusing on Paul’s epistles to the Corinthians in the context of his larger relationship with the church at Corinth. Study of both the historical-critical setting as well as careful, passage by passage exposition of the text will be pursued in an effort to grasp the theological import of this watershed text. The course will also include a review of the history of the epistles’ interpretation, a discussion of the larger issues in the current academic discussion on Paul’s works and thought, and the potential impact of these epistles’ timeless thoughts on contemporary culture.
