The Great Sermon Tradition As A Fiscal Framework In 1 Corinthians Av Dr Christopher L. Carter

<div>This text addresses two separate but related questions. Firstly, what is Paul''s theology of material possessions, and secondly, what is the source of the apostle''s thought on this subject? Carter endeavours to answer these questions by posing the hypothesis that Paul owes his pecuniary thought to the synoptic sermon tradition. Unlike other studies that investigate this link, Carter does not appeal to verbal parallels to establish this theory. Rather, he demonstrates a continuity in the broad fiscal thought of Jesus and Paul. This is accomplished by first demonstrating the plausibility of Paul''s acquaintance with the dominical tradition through evidence related to the apostle''s historical environment and his extant writings. <br></div><div>The author then establishes the likelihood that Paul knew the pre-synoptic sermon tradition because of its ubiquity in early church discipleship, the judgment of form critical scholars, and its pervasive resonances in Pauline literature.
