Description: "Can we know what worship in the gathered assembly was like in first-century Corinth? What we call Paul's first letter to the Corinthians reveals a wider diversity of activities, including the reading of Scripture, the sharing of a meal, and various acts of speech. This study explores each of these elements and their significance. It then looks at how these might be translated into a contemporary liturgical context, and offers a usable liturgial text for the present day."--
