In 2024, Trinity College Theological School will be offering the following face-to-face intensive subjects (for-credit or audit).

1 Corinthians ( BN3211T/BN9211T)

Dates: 15-17 Feb AND 29 Feb-2 Mar 2024 (both required)
Location: Sydney, St James, Institute, Level 1, 169-171 Phillip Street. Access from St James or Martin Place stations.
Presenter: Bob Derrenbacker

This unit studies Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians. It focuses especially on Paul's perception of the problems arising in the life of the young church in Corinth, and his responses to them. It examines the way Paul's theology adapts itself to new situations and new contexts. The specific context of the church in Corinth is explored, and different scholarly opinions canvassed. The relationship to other Pauline writings is investigated, along with the question of their ongoing relevance for the context of the church today.
