1 Corinthians 1: Greek wordle

   This wordle represents chapter 1 of 1 Corinthians, and it makes obvious some interesting features of the chapter – such as the number of references to God/Jesus/Christ/Lord – particularly in the genitive…

For anyone who is in the Nottingham area, Peter & I will be starting a Greek NT reading group next week, which will focus on 1 Corinthians, and enable discussion about linguistic, textual, hermeneutical, and theological issues which arise from our reading of the Greek text.  Anthony Thiselton has offered to come towards the end of the group’s time together, to discuss any big questions that have struck us.  Get in touch if you’re interested.

    That’s a really cool idea. I’m not able to recognize genitive etc. yet but I will have to remember this.

    Yes, I love the emphases, but I was looking for dysfunctional. :-)

    Steph: Yeah, the reading group should go well, what with Pete’s charismatic teaching skills and my… ummm… and my… hmmm all of a sudden this comment has run out of steam.

    Jeff: Yep it’s kinda cool, but you have to do a bit of fiddling for wordle to recognise the distinct words in greek.

    TC: Actually that’s an interesting point – there’s a lot more about Paul’s corrective (related to what the Corinthians have in Christ) than about the Corinthian dysfunction/problems
