What did the Corinthians understand when Paul urged the Corinthians to imitate him as he imitates Christ? Using the fruits of social memory theory, Imitate Me as I Imitate Christ approximates what the Corinthians knew about Jesus and compares it with the context surrounding 1 Cor 4:16 and 11:1.

What did the Corinthians think that Paul meant when he urged the them to imitate him as he imitates Christ? Exploring 1 Corinthians, Romans, 1 Clement, and early Christian texts, it is likely that the Corinthians knew more of Jesus's teachings and lifestyle. Using the fruit of collective memory studies, this study approximates a collective memory about Jesus. It then compares this approximated memory with the surrounding context of 1 Cor 4:16 and 11:1 finding much agreement.
