About this episode
Dr. James Boice discusses how the wisdom of the world is undermined by the simplicity of the gospel as seen through the crucifixion.
1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5 God has undermined and brought to nothing the vaunted wisdom of the world through the simplicity of the gospel. And where is the folly of the world’s wisdom more clearly seen then through the lens of the crucifixion? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he compares the wisdom of the world with “the foolishness of God.”
