285. Live from Corinth - 1 Corinthians 11

Let's dive in.

So I'm going to be focusing on the location and I'm going to be focusing on a passage from 1 Corinthians 15.

So while we're here, I'm sat at the top of the Acrocorinth.

I'm actually sat on a stoned area, which is exactly where Aphrodite's temple was.

Now, some of the stones have been taken.

They've been used to rebuild the thing.

So a lot of the stones are missing.

I'm looking out.

I'm looking out over the Gulf of Corinth.

It's a little distance away, but you can see it there on the horizon.

Right in front of me, I've got ancient Corinth.

So Bex and I have had a good look around ancient Corinth.

Really lovely to go and see the entranceway, the walkway into Corinth, to see where Paul would have made his tents.

He was a tent maker while he was in Corinth.

And we've looked around all there.

We've been to see where Paul was on trial.

And we can see the actual footing, the property where Paul was on trial there in Corinth.

So it's been a really good little walk around to get a sense of the area and the space.

I mean, Corinth is massive.

A few things about Corinth that, you know, it's just helpful to know about is that Corinth was incredibly wealthy.

And as a space, Corinth was full of trade.

It was on a major trade route.

It would be often full of traders, sailors who brought produce in off the Gulf of Corinth.

They'd come up to Corinth to trade and sell.

It was a major sail route marketplace.
