Abstract

ATR/97.1 174 Anglican Theological Review Corinthians, set within a description of this emerging posture, is also noted. Verse 8 envisions salvation as resultant of God’s search for his lost children. This analogy displays the Irenean ethos of the text’s theology, whereby cre- ation and redemption are tethered. Here, too, one gets a glimpse of the Acts’ occasional polemical interaction with Marcionism. The fourth section of 3 Corinthians exhibits the decisively anti-Gnostic perspective of the Acts. Here, one discovers a Pauline response to theologi- cal inquiries sent from Corinth. The deployment of the well-known New Testament “seed” analogy (compare with John 12:24) utilizes a recognizably Gnostic term so as to subvert Gnostic repugnance toward corporeal redemp- tion.

And they influenced, as Pervo asserts, the de - veloping gospel traditions of the church.
