Preaching to Impress … or to save

It seems to me that the cultural context of ancient Corinth significantly resembles many aspects of the west – and in particular London, where I work. This is a talk, originally given in 2004, which discusses how the apostle Paul approaches preaching the gospel of a Crucified Christ into a culture that despised and rejected such messages as foolish and weak.

There are implications, therefore, for how we speak about aspects of the gospel which seem counter-cultural, whatever culture we are in.
