    This episode is a deep dive into the world of prophetic utterances, frenzied manifestations, divine possession, and all other sorts of inspired speech that I could find in Greco-Roman literature.

Why not? What was it about the situation in Corinth that Read more about 594 1 Corinthians in Context 11: Money and Benefaction[…]
