The study explores the verbal, thematic, and structural connectedness of 1 Corinthians 4 and 5 and proposes an apologetic and mimetic reading of the self-referential statements in chapter 5 against the backdrop of the imitation call in chapter 4. This work is a helpful guide to the what (content) and how (rhetoric) of Paul’s calls to imitation and exemplary self-referential statements in 1 Corinthians and resource on his self-understanding of his own authority.
Reviews
“. . . [the author] makes many valuable new observations, engages fully in critical discussion with wide-ranging secondary literature, and develops an independent and coherent argument.” – ,Prof. Seyoon Kim, Fuller Theological Seminary
“This book’s position is unique as one of the most systematic and thoroughgoing defenses for the theme of Paul’s apology for his apostolic authority in connection with the mimesis motif in 1 Corinthians. It also provides the most comprehensive research of the content and rhetoric of the imitation motif in 1 Corinthians." – Prof. Hyeon Woo Shin, Westminster Graduate School of Theology
