Dr Savage seeks to understand the apostle Paul's apparently
contradictory description of his ministry in 2 Corinthians as one
in which power is manifested through weakness: 'When I am weak,
then I am strong!' This paradox becomes intelligible when it is
understood that Paul's critics were influenced by a perspective
which was the exact opposite of his: they imbibed the self-exalting
outlook of their contemporary world, while he embraced the
self-emptying gospel of Christ. Drawing from archaeological data on
first-century Corinth, this study is unique in establishing both
the secular underpinnings of Paul's paradoxical language and the
devastating critique which that language offers on the general
outlook of the first century. Paul emerges as a radical foil to the
spirit of the age.
