People's Commentary (NT)
I Corinthians 1:20 Where [is] the wise? The Greek philosophers. In Greek, the term "philosopher" means "a lover of wisdom". The scribe? The scribes were the Jewish learned class. The disputer of this world? Probably the Greek teachers who "disputed daily" in the public places (Acts 19:9). Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? All their worldly wisdom is excluded from the gospel.
