Reading Corinthians and Philippians within Judaism

Více o knize

The book explores the interpretation of the "weak" in 1 Corinthians as believers struggling with their faith regarding idol food. It argues that Paul aimed for these individuals to grow stronger in their faith. Additionally, it discusses Paul's flexible approach to cultural practices, highlighting his strategy of adapting his behavior—sometimes eating idol food to connect with non-Jews and at other times observing Jewish customs to reach Jewish audiences. This duality reflects his commitment to evangelism across diverse cultural contexts.
