Using group simulation, the book brings to life scholarly research on how the gospel penetrated the Roman Empire. As participants role-play early believers and debate with each other, they gain new insights and will never read 1 Corinthians the same way again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e First-century Corinthians were just as human as church people today. They did not consider Paul's letters authoritative Scripture when he wrote them, so lively group discussion and debate are encouraged. This method of Bible study works for many levels, from youth groups to Sunday school classes, or in college and seminary courses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSUPPLEMENTARY WEB RESOURCES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Visit to Ancient Corinth (slide presentation) (9 MB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime Travel to Ancient Corinth (slide presentation) (12 MB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublicity Announcement for Adult Sunday School Simulation of 1 Corinthians (64 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepresentative Speeches from Chloe's House Church (66 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorshiping with the Corinthians (684 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Visitor's Guide to Corinth (59 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtra Material for Character Development in Corinth (64 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing Creating a Scene in Corinth: A Simulation in College or Seminary (123 KB) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorinthian Characters in Chloe's House Church (104 KB) \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcClain, George D.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge D.
