1 CORINTHIAN WISDOM, STOIC PHILOSOPHY, AND THE ANCIENT ECONOMY This work reexamines the divisive wisdom Paul addresses in 1 Corinthians. Challenging the recent consensus that the Corinthians wisdom was rooted primarily in the Greco-Roman rhetorical tradition, Timothy A. Brookins offers a revisionary thesis centered on a striking pattern of discourse similarities between the perspective of the Corinthian wise and the Stoic system of thought. Brookins argues that several members of the church, after hearing Paul s initial gospel message, construed that message in terms of Stoic philosophy and began promoting a kind of Stoic-Christian perspective that helped precipitate divisions in the church. Being apprised of their views, Paul then exploited the Stoic discourse of his opponents in order to sustain common discursive ground. In addition to providing a fresh synthesis of the data in 1 Corinthians, Brookins brings in cutting-edge research on the ancient economy as he explores questions related to philosophical education and social status within the church community. timothy a. brookins is Assistant Professor of Classics at Houston Baptist University. His research focuses on New Testament backgrounds, with a primary emphasis on the Pauline epistles. He has published articles in numerous journals, including New Testament Studies, The Journal of Theological Studies, and Journal for the Study of the New Testament.

13 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book is a revised version of a doctoral dissertation defended at Baylor University in February It would be impossible to estimate how deeply indebted this project has been to the astute minds of teachers, colleagues, scholars, and friends who have engaged with me over the many years of its completion. Immense thanks are due professors Bruce Longenecker and Mikeal Parsons, who read or heard presented, in several stages of production, each and every chapter of the book. Throughout my time at Baylor they along with Charles Talbert, Lidija Novakovic, and the rest of the Religion faculty served as the refining fire for all my academic work. From Baylor s Classics department, Jeffrey Fish was involved from the earliest stages of the project, and proved to be a constant source of guidance and profound encouragement along the way. I also owe a debt of gratitude to David Armstrong from the University of Texas Austin, who invested an exceedingly generous share of his time musing over earlier drafts of my thesis. I thank my parents and grandparents for their undying support, both spiritual and material, throughout my many years of graduate school. I am grateful to Josh Stout, Peter Reynolds, Eric Gilchrest, and my other studymates in the graduate program at Baylor for their much-needed companionship during some difficult years. I also thank Philip and Nicole Donnelly, and countless others who offered me and my family warm hospitality, spiritual nourishment, and sincere friendship during our time in Waco. I thank my colleagues at Houston Baptist University for providing the circumstances needed to bring this project to completion in its final stages. Thanks must go to Neotestamentica for allowing me to incorporate reworked material from one of my earlier articles. Most of all I thank my wife, Mary Mac, whose contribution to my success, happiness, and livelihood over the last ten years (spent almost entirely in graduate school) has been inestimable. Words cannot express the gratitude she is owed. It is to her, with great love, that this volume is dedicated. xiii
