Abstract
An account of how 1 and 2 Corinthians are related and what their meaning is in the context of emergent Christianity and Paul's view of the social role of biblical texts.

From the Paper
"In order to understand the relationship between 1 and 2 Corinthians, it is important to appreciate their role as foundational texts of the Christian and especially Pauline mission of the apostolic period. They do not present the whole picture of formative Christianity, that is they are not sufficient to explicating it. They are, however, necessary and although each has its particular objective, they achieve more complete resonance to the extent they are considered a unit. That is, because of the circumstances under which the texts emerged which have to do..."

Abstract
The paper examines the "First Letter to the Corinthians" and what Paul has to say about women. The paper relates that most of these things are negative about women and their rights, however, some of them impose equal standards on the two sexes. The paper discusses how he states that husband and wife reciprocally rule over each other's bodies, he enjoins both sexes not to leave or divorce their spouse, and he suggests that both sexes can save their spouse by virtue of their own belief, even if their spouse is not a believer. The paper points out that he also understands that married people of both sexes are likely to be less focused on God than single people of both sexes, because they will be distracted by their spouse.

From the Paper
"In the "First Letter to the Corinthians", Paul has a great deal to say about women. Most of these things are negative about women and their rights. However, some of them are not, and impose equal standards on the two sexes. For example, he begins by sounding as if he believes in equal rights, when he states that husband and wife reciprocally rule over each other's bodies (I Corinthians 7:4). Similarly, he enjoins both sexes not to leave or divorce their spouse, if at all possible (I Corinthians 7:10-11). In like vein, he suggests that both sexes can save their spouse..."

Abstract
The following paper will describe the startling similarities - and a few differences - between the architectural features of the National Archives in Washington, DC, and the Corinthian tradition of Ancient Greece. Specifically, the paper emphasizes the slender, fluted columns or shafts of the Archives as well as the ornate, leafed capitals at the top of each of those shafts. Other commonalities between the Archives and the Corinthian tradition - and some differences - are also featured in the paper.

From the Paper
"The Corinthians bring to a reading of 7:1-9 the entire history of the issues that Paul is answering. Thus if he appears elliptical in reference to the matters to which he is responding, this would be a problem only for those among whom the issues had not been raised. But a careful reading of Chapters 1-6 reveals that they establish the background for the argument that is developed in 7:1-9.

The background is established with repeated reference to the spiritual integrity of the cult itself. This begins in 1:10, when he beseeches the Corinthian brethren "that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you." The reasons for this request are amplified in the body of the letter, which deals with the details of how the unity of purpose will be achieved. Paul's overriding concern is the community of souls, ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses Paul's letters, particularly 1 and 2 Corinthians, and points out passages that discuss the repeating motif of Jesus as a new Adam inaugurating a new creation. It discusses how this understanding shaped Paul's attitude toward history and the Mosaic Law and the problems it helped Paul to answer.

From the Paper
"Paul's letters show a repeating motif of Jesus as a new Adam, inaugurating a new creation. Adam is referred to in Corinthians as the first man, while Jesus is referred to as the last Adam, as evidenced by the passage 'And so it is written "The first man Adam was made a living soul, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." '( KJV) The first Adam was merely a living person, but the last Adam is a life-giving Spirit. What came first was..."

Abstract
This paper explains and describes the concepts of death and resurrection in 1 Thessalonians and 1 Corinthians. It further examins Paul's response to the concerns of early Christians. The questions of salvation and resurrection for early Christians are presented and addressed.

From the Paper
"The problem of Christians dying is so important in Thessalonians and Corinthians because it is tied up with questions of salvation and resurrection. Thessalonians discusses the fact that Christians are not appointed to wrath but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ so that we can live together with him. (KJV) Corinthians talks about the resurrection of the dead and points out that if the dead rise not then is not Christ raised and if Christ be not raised your faith is in vain..."

Abstract
This paper examines Chapter 13 of "Corinthians 1" sometimes referred to as "The "Hymn of Love" or "The Hymn to Love". The first part
analyzes Paul's interpretation of love through a verse by verse analysis. The second part is a personal interpretation of the Hymn from the point of view of a poor and destitute person.

From the Paper
"There might be some who mistakenly think that the hymn is a type of poem. To disapprove this, the Oxford Bible Commentary emphasizes that "it is written in prose, not verse, but that it clearly has poetic qualities both in the level of language and in its structural shaping." This fact may be regarded as evidence that the author of this chapter must have been highly skilled. In fact, this opinion and the strong connection between Chapter 12,31 and Chapter 14,1 have led to the theory that someone other than Paul might have written Chapter 13 and may have inserted it into 1 Corinthians at a later date."

Abstract
This paper examines Christ's resurrection from the dead, one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. The paper explains that, throughout I Corinthians 15, the chapter of the epistle that refers to the resurrection in greater detail than any other, Paul emphasizes the concept of grace. As grace is a central concept in Christian ideology, the resurrection is a central motif.

From the Paper
"Christ's resurrection from the dead is one of the central images of Christianity and a cornerstone of Christian belief. Referred to throughout the Gospels, the resurrection of the body is particularly meaningful to Pauline thought. Therefore, the 15th chapter of I Corinthians can aptly illustrate the meaning of the resurrection for the Christian community in general. Resurrection was not a unique feature of Christianity, as the notion of rising from the dead played a large part in the ancient religions of Egypt and the Middle East. However, Greek philosophy denied the possibility of resurrection. Paul anticipates the skepticism of his audience when he poses the rhetorical question in I Corinthians 15:12: "But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?" Therefore, Paul's delivery of Christianity to Corinth, Greece could in large part be an attempt to underscore the potency of faith, and the importance of unconditional belief in God and Jesus Christ."

Abstract
"Greek architecture has long been identified with the creation of the three classic architectural orders, the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, though actually the Corinthian is a variation of the Ionic.

From the Paper
"Greek architecture has long been identified with the creation of the three classic architectural orders, the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, though actually the Corinthian is a variation of the Ionic. Greek temples were not directly linked to the orders but show basic features that are much alike. order and cleanness of lines marks Greek temples and other monumental Greek architecture. Roman architecture reflects a way of public and private life, borrowing elements from the Greeks and the Etruscans. The Pantheon is a large, round temple in Rome which shows the ability of the Romans to create vast interior spaces, perhaps for the first time in the history of architecture. Many Roman works are a mixture of styles, such as the Hagia Sophia, a monumental piece of architecture that links us with the era of Justinian's reign in Constantinople and is an interesting example of a ..."
