Historical-Critical Approach Sample Clauses

Historical-Critical Approach. Though the term “historical-critical” is broad enough to include the world that surrounds the text, we use it here to indicate a trend in studies of 1 Corinthians that focuses primarily on the history of the Corinthian community, the early Christian context, and the text itself. While these approaches do not exclude observations of the wider world, they primarily assess the text and its pre-history in order to account for the letter’s present state. In contrast, the other approaches we examine look more significantly to practices and texts outside of the Christian context as a lens through which to read the letter.
