Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book examines the educated elite in 1 Corinthians through the development, and application, of an ancient education model.

Topics are examined in 1 Corinthians to demonstrate where the model advances an understanding of Paul's interaction with the elite Corinthian Christians in the context of community conflict. <br/><br/>This study demonstrates the important contribution that this ancient education model makes in interpreting 1 Corinthians in a Graeco-Roman context.<br/><br/>This is Volume 271 of JSNTS.<br/>> Book News Annotation:Revising and updating his Ph.D. dissertation for the University of Bristol in 1998, Dutch looks at the first-century church in which early believers are learning to live together in community within the Graeco-Roman world, as depicted in the New Testament letter.
