The Stones of Corinth: Looking for Hope in the Ruins
Presenter: Micah Kiel, Ph.D.
The archaeological remains in ancient Corinth give us crisp insight into the issues facing the community that Paul founded there…
…A list of their problems looks a lot like ours today: division, socio-economic tension, and social upheaval. Where, in such times, can we look for hope? In this presentation, we will utilize what we know about the ancient city to help bring Paul’s letter alive for us today.
