Andrew Clarke has explored in an earlier work, Serve the Community of the Church (Eerdmans, 2000), the distinctive, local and historical situations in the various Pauline communities and concluded that there is no evidence that they organised themselves according to a common set of governmental structures which clearly developed with the passage of time. Rather each community was influenced by its own localized, social and cultural context. The present project builds on this, and necessarily focuses on leadership style rather than church order. It seeks to recover from Paul's critical responses, his generic ethos of church leadership, including the ideal qualities, characteristics and task of leaders and the nature of appropriate interaction and engagement with church members. In the light of current, theoretical discussions about power and gender, the study focuses particularly on Paul's attitude towards hierarchy, egalitarianism, authority, responsibility and privilege."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v362. 410 0$aT & T Clark library of biblical studies. 606 $aChristian leadership 606 $2Biblical studies & exegesis 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristian leadership. 676 $a262/.109015 700 $aClarke$b Andrew D.$0856130 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461848603321 996 $aA Pauline theology of church leadership$91911543 997 $aUNINA
