Chapter Five Questions
Using the examples provided in the textbook and in the additional information folder as well as the provided student example construct a structural outline of 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. The principles of structure should influence how you build this structural outline.
List and explain the principles of structure (comparison, contrast, repetition, illustration, question posed, question answered, etc.) that you have observed in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. These principles of structure should be reflected in the structural outline from the previous question.
Verse(s)
Principle of Structure
Using the examples provided in the textbook and in the additional resources folder construct a brief outline of 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. This outline should be based off of and reflect the content in the two previous questions but it should not use the same verbiage as the principles of structure.
Chapter Six Questions
Using the example of Colossians 1:24–29 found in the textbook and the list of details to look for from this chapter, complete the “who,” “what,” “where,” and “when” of 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. You should use the Holman Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Holman Illustrated Bible Handbook, Holman Concise Bible Commentary and the HCSB Study Bible notes in order to gather information for these answers. These answers should be more detailed than the ones you provided in the Chapter Four questions (Your answers for 1E).
