Abstract
264 Gosse, Le texte d'Exode 15, 1-21 dans la redaction Biblique IV. Conclusion and the Way Forward for New Testament Scholarship Classicists are in no doubt as to the Roman nature of the colony, Laus Julia Corinthiensis, at least until Hadrianic times . Architecture and layout reflected Roman and Italic forms. Public inscriptions were usually in Latin. Social elites from other cities were ready to hold magistracies there. It was the centre of administration for the Roman province of Achaea. It is for these reasons that New Testament scholarship should be trying to read the Pauline Corinthian correspondence against the background of a Roman city . Did Paul write about Roman forms of worship which emphasised the status of certain individuals creeping into the ekklesia? How do Roman legal cases inform us about the legal issues within the Corinthian correspondence? How far were the urban elites involved in the early church? Although there is some evidence for activity at Corinth between the destruction by Mummius and the refoundation, it would be misleading to suggest that there was civic continuity. It is right for both classical archaeo logists and New Testament scholars to stress the Roman nature of the city
