Creating Sacred Places in First Century Corinth
This book applies spatial theories from human and cultural geography to the archaeological remains of Ancient Corinth in order to consider how sacred places could have been created in the first century. Building on Philip Sheldrake's theory, among others, the book defines sacred place as a space with significance. Significance is found in the group’s spiritual history, their identity, and the proper behaviours required to keep the group remaining a group. The book further argues that if any of these elements of place are not recognized nor upheld, the group risks becoming placeless.

Creating a Scene in Corinth imaginatively draws readers into Chloe’s house church, which has just received a letter from their church planter, the apostle Paul. Using group simulation, the book brings to life scholarly research on how the gospel penetrated the Roman Empire. As participants role-play early believers and debate with each other, they gain new insights and will never read 1 Corinthians the same way again. First-century Corinthians were just as human as church people today. They did not consider Paul’s letters authoritative Scripture when he wrote them, so lively group discussion and debate are encouraged. This method of Bible study works for many levels, from youth groups to Sunday school classes, or in college and seminary courses.
