Pickett explores how Paul appealed to the death of Jesus in the
Corinthian correspondence in order to promote a community ethos and
ethic consistent with the ideals and values it symbolized. In so
doing, Paul was responding to interpersonal conflicts within the
community and criticisms of his ministry-criticisms he saw as
founded on Graeco-Roman cultural values of the cultivated elite.
His consistent emphasis on the weakness of the cross served to
critique social expressions of power in Corinth. More
constructively, Paul attempted to secure conduct befitting the
gospel by invoking the death of Jesus as a symbol of
other-regarding behaviour.
