A new investigation of wisdom at Corinth which argues that the wisdom which Paul opposes in 1 Corinthians 1ó3 may be convincingly interpreted against the background of early post-biblical Jewish sapiential traditions. Examines the Book of Sirach, the Qumran scrolls, the Philonic literature, and the Book of Wisdom.
