"Epideictic Rhetoric in
Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 1 - 4," Joop F.M. Smit,
Biblica 2003.
- "In this article an overview is given
of the main characteristics of the epideictic genre and in the light of
this it is argued that in 1 Cor 1–4 Paul presents the four types of this
genre..."

Corinthians 1:10 - 4:21: Ideology of Power," Dr. Vernon Robbins. From
The
Tapestry of Early Christian Discourse: Rhetoric, Society and Ideology, London:
Routledge, 1996.
- "In [Castelli's] view, Paul's
discourse in 1 Corinthians 1-4 constructs a 'special position', 'a privileged position
from which to speak' (p. 108) which interpreters need to assess carefully in relation to
other voices in New Testament literature."

"We
Believe in Christian Perfection," Georgia Harkness, Chapter 8
in Beliefs That Count, 1961. At Religion Online.
- "God’s grace is manifested
not only in the forgiveness of our sins but is also creatively
redemptive, the power that works in us to make us perfect in love.
Nothing short of perfection, Christlikeness in thought, word, and
deed, can measure God’s loving purpose for us. It is our faith
that the fundamental change wrought in the individual by
regeneration is a dynamic process which by growth in grace moves
toward "mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ." We may quench the Spirit and fall from
grace but our divine destiny is perfect love and holiness in this
life."

Tuomi Hammond, The Other Side Online, May/June 2000.
- "Thousands of Christians have left the
church because it has wounded them. Others are one step from the door. How
can we support those struggling to rebuild their faith?"
