He skilfully explores how Paul's response to the issues is found in his wisdom teaching, especially the meaning and significance of "e;Christ, the wisdom of God."e; In this detailed study, Dr. Rojas presents a sociological and rhetorical analysis of 1 Corinthians 1-4 that brings a fresh perspective on Paul's response to church tension with important truths for churches today. Pauline scholars and church practitioners alike will find in these pages a rich resource on 1 Corinthians and Paul's teaching.
