The lectionary epistle reading for the Fourth Sunday before Lent is 1 Corinthians 15.1–11. Paul here offers a summary of the gospel that he has both received and passed on to the Corinthians—and it has some fascinating features.
What is the role here of the 'gospel tradition'? What are the key elements of it? How does it point both backwards to the promise of the Old Testament, and forward to the apostolic witness of the early church?
Come and join Ian and James as they explore these questions! Revd James Blandford-Baker is vicar of Histon and Impington, two villages just north of Cambridge. Revd Dr Ian Paul is Associate Minister of St Nic's, Nottingham, and writes the widely-read blog www.psephizo.com.
