This work re-examines the divisive wisdom that Paul addresses in 1
Corinthians. Challenging the recent consensus that the Corinthians'
wisdom was rooted primarily in the Greco-Roman rhetorical
tradition, Timothy A. Brookins offers a revisionary thesis centered
on discourse similarities between the perspective of the Corinthian
'wise' and the Stoic system of thought. Brookins argues that
several members of the church, after hearing Paul's initial gospel
message, construed that message in terms of Stoic philosophy and
began promoting a kind of 'Stoic-Christian' perspective that helped
to precipitate divisions in the church. Being apprised of their
views, Paul then exploited the 'Stoic' discourse of his opponents
in order to sustain common discursive ground. In addition to
providing a fresh synthesis of the data in 1 Corinthians, Brookins
brings in cutting-edge research on the ancient economy as he
explores questions related to philosophical education and social
status within the church community.
