On this week’s episode, Steve Crawford and Mat Hotho sit down with Dr. Jill Marshall to discuss Paul’s letters found in 1 & 2 Corinthians.

Jill has a PhD in New Testament Studies from Emory University and works for the American Academy of Religion. She not only teaches and writes, but also excavates having participated in archaeological digs in a number of ancient sites.

The conversation gives context to the church in Corinth and Paul’s relationship with them. They discuss the nature of Paul’s authority and how the Corinthians would have approached unlawfulness in their church. The end focuses on texts modern readers may struggle with the most.
