Conclusion: Contributions and Directions for Future Research -- Bibliography -- Index of Subjects -- Index of Authors -- Index of References Scholarship is divided on a point fundamental to the interpretation of 1 Corinthians 1-4: Are these chapters better read as a Pauline apology or as a Pauline censure? This study argues that Paul's argument is simultaneously apology and rebuke. By characterizing the Corinthian community as an ancient school, Paul depicts himself as a good but misunderstood teacher and the Corinthians as lackluster and unruly students. In support of this argument, White identifies numerous parallels between Paul's language, logic, and imagery in 1 Corinthians 1-4 and similar motifs in ancient Greek, Roman, and Jewish discussions of educational theory and practice. Especially significant is White's conclusion that Paul's educational language most closely resembles discussions of ancient primary education, not the rhetoric or philosophy studied in ancient higher education. This book will be of interest to scholars of the Corinthian correspondence, Pauline specialists, and any scholar of antiquity interested in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian education. This study examines educational motifs in 1 Corinthians 1-4 in order to answer a question fundamental to the interpretation of 1 Corinthians: Do the opening chapters of 1 Corinthians contain a Pauline apology or a Pauline censure? The author argues that Paul characterizes the Corinthian community as an ancient school, a characterization Paul exploits both to defend himself as a good teacher and to censure the Corinthians as poor students.Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der älteren Kirche ;Volume 227.EducationBiblical teaching1 Corinthians.Apostle Paul.Greco-Roman Education.Jewish Education.EducationBiblical teaching.227.206BC 7550SEPArvkWhite Devin L.1986-1701577MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821915903321Teacher of the nations4085430UNINA01487nas# 22003131i 450 UON0050506720250718022618.2430003-9659PP 1889520210217b19561972 |0itac50 bafreFR|||| |||||aF|||||||||Archives de sociologie des religionsNo. 1 (1956)- no. 34 (1972)ParisCentre National de la Recherche Scientifique1956-197234 fascicoli23 cm.001UON000018082001 Archives de sciences sociales des religions207 [A. 18., n. 35 (janv./juin 1973)]- 210 ParisEditions de l'Ecole des hautes études en sciences sociales[1973]- 215 v.25 cm300 Semestrale; trimestrale dal n. 69 (1990).SociologiaPeriodiciUONC035855FIFRParisUONL002984306.6ISTITUZIONI RELIGIOSE / SOCIOLOGIA DELLA RELIGIONE21ITSOL20250912RICAhttps://www.persee.fr/collection/assrIn Open accessSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSI2(1957),4(1959),6(1961)CANTRO ;UON00505067SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI 2(1957),4(1959),6(1961)CSI MR 72554 6 1959 SI MR 72555 6 1961 SI MR 72989 6 1957 ARCHIVES de Sociologie des Religions588497UNIOR
