I will be teaching a class this week on the importance of thinking
contextually when dealing with Paul's writings.
I would like some suggestions on passages to use as examples. For example,
passages that are misunderstood when taken out of context.
Also, I am open to suggestions for creative ways to approach such a class.
If anyone has taught a section on the importance of thinking contextually in
the Pauline epistles and can suggest some unique ideas for presenting the
material, I'd love to hear it!
Or, is emphasizing the context, much ado about nothing?
Thanks,
Brian Tucker
Try 1 Cor 11:2-16 and the paragraph at the end of chapter 14 on Women shutting up in the assembly. You need to know a good bit about women in Judaism, Roman life, and the history of Corinth as a Roman colony to really understand it.
