Nuanced Identities

This week, we’re revisiting a conversation from 2018 between Dr.
Dan Allender and Dr. Angela Parker, Professor at The Seattle
School of Theology & Psychology, as they explore the passage
of 1 Corinthians 4:8-13. Dr. Parker starts by offering some
context about the port city of Corinth and the people who make up
the church Paul is writing to. It’s a divided city, concerned
with hierarchy and proximity to power.

Dr. Parker challenges us to consider Paul’s ethnicity, gender,
and position as we wonder about “what might be going on
underneath the text,” which also invites us to wrestle with our
own nuanced identities as readers of the text.
