A Practical Impracticality

from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School

What does it mean to hope in the Kingdom of God and how does this hope differ from the false promises of idealism? How is the biblical teaching, which seems impractical, ruthlessly practical in its transformation of human behavior? Why is the content of the gospel readily dismissed by both religious and secular thinkers? What opportunity does this teaching and the decline of religion in the United States present to Christians? Richard and Fr. Marc continue their discussion of chapter 1 of 1 Corinthians.
