Interim

I expected Paul's discussion of Communion to relate more directly to the Corinthians views on knowledge and wisdom. Instead, the presentation is not oblique and not indirect, but more like a grandfather, grandchild relationship. At a second level, the discussion is tucked into thoughts about eating meat offered to idols which started in earnest in chapter eight. It contains today's major understandings of what participating in the Last Supper is, but we pay no attention to the context of its presentation.
