Publisher's Note
In this intriguing discussion of Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, Dale Martin contends that Paul's various disagreements with the Corinthians were the result of a fundamental conflict over the ideological construction of the human body (and hence the church as the body of Christ). This led to differing opinions on a variety of theological viewpoints--including the role of rhetoric and philosophy in a hierarchical society, the eating of meat sacrificed to idols, prostitution, sexual desire and marriage, and the resurrection of the body.

Industry Reviews
"Martin's point of entry to this world [of first century Greece and Rome] is the way in which the human body was commonly constructed, both in itself and as a metaphor for much else. It was so far removed from the Catesian body-mind dichotomy which has, until recently, marked so many of our assumptions. Instead, the nature of the human being (with the male as distinctly the norm) was commonly seen as a hierarchical whole, whose elements (both, in our terms, physical and psychological) fused to each other, interacted and making, ideally, a single harmony. What was true of the individual was mirrored in the social entities, notably household and city, which were the larger scenes of his life."
Times Literary Supplement - J. Leslie Houlden (03/22/1996)
