Скачать или смотреть 178 wisdom and foolishness in 1 Cor 1

The epistle for Epiphany 4 is 1 Cor 1.18—31 (the end of the chapter). Having painted the picture of the amazing things that God has done for the Corinthians in the first verses, Paul has then confronted them with their factions. He now draws on language that echoes the teaching of Jesus, and deep from the Old Testament, to set out the paradoxical nature of God's wisdom and power in the foolishness and weakness of the cross. In doing so, he challenges every human aspiration to success and knowledge of God without the centrality of what God has done in the cross of Christ.
