Chapters 4 – 6 break down the three elements of place which give significance to the spaces in which the first-century ekklēsia might have gathered for worship. Chapter 4 builds on Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, those “structuring structures” (like one’s worldview, family background, religious background) which effect one’s practices and behaviours. Throughout 1–2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul draws on the believing community’s various histories to help them understand who they are in their present context. The city of Corinth is an amalgamation of Greek and Roman religions which Paul did not shy away from but used for his own purposes. Paul also reminded the ekklēsia of their Jewish history to argue all believers, Jew or Gentile, are part of God’s family. Finally, Paul drew on the not-so-distant history of the Jesus movement when he teaches the Corinthians of the proper way to perform the Last Supper and answer their eschatological questions.
