The Shape of Πίστις in 1 Corinthians: How Faith Receives, Boasts, and Discerns

Abstract

This article considers the contribution of 1 Corinthians to debates about the nature of πίστις in Paul. In conversation with studies of 1 Corinthians that argue for relational, participatory, and communal constructions of πίστις, this article engages in a close exegesis of key passages of the epistle to highlight receiving, boasting, and discerning as important and salient features of faith.
