An inductive Bible study on 1 Corinthians on the theme of Paul’s claim that the Cross is the wisdom and power of God. Written for the Melanesian context, the studies are in both English and PNG Tok Pisin. The studies explore the context of the church at Corinth in Paul’s day, primarily from 1 Corinthians 1, and the contextual and cultural issues that Paul faced in preaching the gospel leading to his assertion of Christ’s crucifixion being the wisdom of God. Then the events of Good Friday, Easter Saturday (Sabbath) and Resurrection Sunday are explored with particular reference to 1 Corinthians 15, explaining Paul’s assertion that within Jesus’ death and resurrection are the power of God. Throughout the studies contextual issues of relevance to Melanesians are raised. The studies are based around a series of Bible readings and questions with some teaching provided to expand on relevant issues being discussed. The book is designed as a resource primarily for the church in Papua New Guinea though the studies in English are suitable for any English speakers particularly from an non-western background.
