Revision of the author's thesis (Ph. D.)--Macquarie University, 2013.
"This volume examines 1 Corinthians 1-4 within first-century politics, demonstrating
the significance of Corinth's constitution to the interpretation of Paul's letter.
Bradley J. Bitner shows that Paul carefully considered the Roman colonial context
of Corinth, which underlay numerous ecclesial conflicts. Roman politics, however,
cannot account for the entire shape of Paul's response. Bridging the Hellenism-Judaism
divide that has characterised much of Pauline scholarship, Bitner argues that Paul
also appropriated Jewish-biblical notions of covenant. Epigraphical and papyrological
evidence indicates that his chosen content and manner are best understood with reference
to an ecclesial politeia informed by a distinctively Christ-centred political theology.
This emerges as a 'politics of thanksgiving' in 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 and as a 'politics
of construction' in 3:5-4:5, where Paul redirects gratitude and glory to God in Christ.
This innovative account of Paul's political theology offers fresh insight into his
pastoral strategy among nascent Gentile-Jewish assemblies" ; "Paul's Political Strategy
