Ehrensperger examines the broad range of perspectives on how this use of power should be evaluated. These range from the traditional interpretation of unquestioned, taken for granted for a church leader, to a feminist interpretation. She examines whether or not Paul's use of power presents an open or hidden re-inscription of hierarchical structures in what was previously a discipleship of equals. Paul and the Dynamics of Power questions whether such hierarchical tendencies are rightly identified within Paul's discourse of power. Furthermore it considers whether these are inherently and necessarily expressions of domination and control and are thus in opposition to a 'discipleship of equals'? In her careful analysis Ehrensperger draws on such wide-ranging figures as Derrida, Michel Foucault and James Scott. This enables fresh insights into Paul's use of authority and power in its first century context."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aLibrary of New Testament studies ;$v325. 606 $aChristianity and politics$xHistory 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aPower (Christian theology) 606 $2Biblical studies & exegesis 615 0$aChristianity and politics$xHistory. 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aPower (Christian theology) 676 $a227/.06 686 $a11.46$2bcl 700 $aEhrensperger$b Kathy$f1956-$01652196 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825751103321 996 $aPaul and the dynamics of power$94078005 997 $aUNINA
