Gordon Fee take down - fundamentalist rhetoric
In preparation for a sermon on 1Corinthians 2:1-5 for
Xpose Preaching Conference I came
across this fun little passage in Fee’s commentary:
“Some emphasize [in 1Corinthians 2:1-5] what Paul did not do,
that is, preach with excellence of word and wisdom, and glory in a
more rough-hewn presentation (which, interestingly enough, is often
accompanied by a kind of bombast that seems intent on persuasion of a
rhetorical kind, despite protests to the contrary).”
- First Epistle to the Corinthians, p. 96
