【Course Objectives】

Continuing from the previous semester, we will read the original text of “First Epistle to the Corinthians” (Ancient Greek) and examine it analytically.

【Course Contents】

The “First Epistle to the Corinthians” is an authentic letter of Paul. It is a letter addressed to the Christian community founded by Paul himself in the provincial capital of Corinth in Roman Achaea at that time (55 AD, sent from Ephesus). The city of Corinth had prominent Roman elements despite being in Greece. Trade flourished, and there were many oriental residences including Jews. There was much diversity in culture and religion. This diversity is reflected in this letter. It is an appropriate text for searching for the state of Christianity in the multicultural ancient society.
Participants will read their respective assigned annotated commentaries in modern language. Presenters will study the original texts while considering all annotated commentaries and other freely referenced secondary literature and present their individual interpretation. A debate with all participants will follow.
