[edit] Expert tag

I've added the "needs expert" tag because this article isn't very strong on theology or biblical scholarship. Mattmm 07:56, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Would not most of the content here be better classified as 'I Corinthians 13 in Popular culture?' --Mr Jakobos 20:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yep - still not enough scholarship! I've put the expert tag back. I'm not sure why it was removed... Mattmm 12:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interpretation

In biblical times, people did not have telescopes or eyeglasses. What is this refering to when it talks about looking through a glass. This article contains no information at all about the meaning or history of the passage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DonPMitchell (talk • contribs) 11:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

According to my study bible, this isn't about looking through things - it's about reflection. Now, before you ask if they had mirrors back then, they used shiny metal such as the back of a shield to do that. Thus these reflections were not perfectly clear.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elwyn5150 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 9 January 2007.

Well, I think it's partially right because what it means is that we see God only through our misconceptions, not the true viewing that will be possible afterlife (according to the passage). marlos 13:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
