Bøker av L.L. Welborn

In That There May Be Equality, L. L. Welborn traces the emergence of Paul¿s concern about inequality in the ekkl¿sia of Christ believers at Corinth, analyzes Paul¿s invocation of the principle of ¿equality¿ in 2 Corinthians, and brings Paul¿s appeal to ¿equality¿ into our global economic crisis.

First Clement responds to a crisis in the Corinthian church by enjoining an ethic of subordination especially to the presbyteroi and episkopoi. Welborn examines the letter's deliberative rhetoric, its blending of citations from the Old Testament and Paul's letters, and its reliance on topoi from Greco-Roman civic discourse.
