Embodying Christ: Meaning and Significance of the Ritual in 1Cor 12-14 This work understands 1Cor 12-14 as a text concerned with early Christian ritual and addresses the question: What does the text of 1Cor 12-14 reveal about the symbolic universe and social implications of this ritual? Early Christian meetings are understood as a complex ritual which has meaning and significance that could be interpreted on the basis of exegeting 1Cor 12-14. Meaning denotes the worldview communicated through it, significance denotes the influence of the ritual on the lives of the believers and their community. As its meaning, three metaphors appear out of the exegesis: a temple in construction, Christ's body with many members, and an image of the Spirit working in believers.

The apostle Paul shows that argument on two examples in which the Church itself, with not many noble, powerful and wise in it, but who are nevertheless chosen, which is a shame for many. The second example is the weakness in performance and fear. So preached the gospel to the cross of Christ through wisdom did not lose sense. The apostle Paul warns that the reliance on human (celebrities), his wisdom, personality and rhetorical art does not make sense, because only through the cross, which is foolishness to man, can stand on the path to salvation.
