This book examines the educated elite in 1 Corinthians through the
development, and application, of an ancient education model. The
research reads PaulGCOs text within the social world of early
Christianity and uses social-scientific criticism in reconstructing
a model that is appropriate for first-century Corinth. Pauline
scholars have used models to reconstruct elite education but this
study highlights their oversight in recognising the relevancy of
the Greek Gymnasium for education. Topics are examined in 1
Corinthians to demonstrate where the model advances an
understanding of PaulGCOs interaction with the elite Corinthian
Christians in the context of community conflict. This study
demonstrates the important contribution that this ancient education
model makes in interpreting 1 Corinthians in a Graeco-Roman
context. This is Volume 271 of JSNTS.
