Book Synopsis
This work re-examines the divisive wisdom in 1 Corinthians on the basis of consistent discourse similarities between the views of the Corinthians and the Stoic system of thought. Brookins argues that access to philosophical training moved the church's wealthier members to conflate Paul's message with Stoicism, resulting in disturbances within the church.

Table of Contents
1. Introduction; 2. Rhetoric versus philosophy in 1 Corinthians; 3. Method; 4. The Corinthian social world; 5. The 'wise man' among the Corinthians; 6. Loose ends; 7. Conclusion.
