Discuss how the Corinthians misinterpreted Paul's teachings on the resurrection and how that misunderstanding led to the various problems in that community.

The people of Corinth believed that they were already living as the exalted and they were reaping the benefits because that they already lived better than other generations. The people of Corinth began to think they were above each other and began to fight with each other and divide themselves into groups depending on who taught them about Christianity.…

    N.T Wight, in his book Simply Jesus argues that modern people are guilty of oversimplifying Jesus, because they do not understand who Jesus really was, what he did, and why that matters.

People believed in many different ideas than what is believed today, so it is necessary to think in a way similar to how people in the first century thought in order to have a better understanding of who he was as a historical figure. To further understand Jesus, Wright argues that one must also be familiar with what he did in his lifetime. In his lifetime, Jesus gave a taste of the reality of what having God as king would be like, and acted as a walking temple.…

Simply by kissing Tom Robinson, Mayella easily broke the societal law perpetuated and upheld by Maycomb society.…
