Book Synopsis Secular and Christian Leadership in Corinth by : Andrew D. Clarke

This book was released on 2006-10-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume traces the secular influences of first-century Roman Corinth on the local church leadership. It then shows how Paul modifies the Corinthian understanding of church leadership. Using 1 Corinthians 1-6 together with other first-century literary and non-literary sources, it is argued that one of Paul's major concerns with the church in Corinth is the extent to which significant members in the church were employing secular categories and perceptions of leadership in the Christian community. this updated edition also seeks to reflect on recent developments in 1 Corinthians scholarship.
Book Synopsis The Organization of the Early Christian Churches by : Edwin Hatch
Download or read book The Organization of the Early Christian Churches written by Edwin Hatch and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1999-05-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here Edwin Hatch presents his idea that the historic episcopate was a late development with its origin in pagan society. These lectures provoked a conversation that lasted almost a century regarding the nature of the episcopacy. Hatch argued that Christian congregations were shaped according to patterns already present in voluntary associations of Graeco-Roman society. Within these voluntary associations, administrative officers emerged whose role was primarily financial. Hatch claimed that these episkopoi are of the same type that developed in early Christianity, in time developing into Bishops as we know them.

Book Synopsis The Original Bishops by : Alistair C. Stewart
Download or read book The Original Bishops written by Alistair C. Stewart and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Jesus Creed 2015 Book of the Year This work provides a new starting point for studying the origins of church offices. Alistair Stewart, a leading authority on early Christianity and a meticulous scholar, provides essential groundwork for historical and theological discussions. Stewart refutes a long-held consensus that church offices emerged from collective leadership at the end of the first century. He argues that governance by elders was unknown in the first centuries and that bishops emerged at the beginning of the church; however, they were nothing like bishops of a later period. The church offices as presently known emerged in the late second century. Stewart debunks widespread assumptions and misunderstandings, offers carefully nuanced readings of the ancient evidence, and fully interacts with pertinent secondary scholarship.

Book Synopsis From Synagogue to Church by : James Tunstead Burtchaell
Download or read book From Synagogue to Church written by James Tunstead Burtchaell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important work challenges an entrenched scholarly consensus, that at the beginning it was inspired leaders - not ordained officers - who dominated the church. James Burtchaell illustrates that the traditional argument on behalf of clerical authority had read history backwards, and found the apostles to be the first bishops. In this study, Burtchaell reads history forwards, and demonstrates that first century Jews knew only one form of community organization, that of the synagogue. The three-level structure of offices in the synagogue - president, elders, and assistant - emerges, in the author's estimation, as the most plausible antecedent for the Christian offices which stand forth clearly in the second century. Burtchaell's conclusion is that ordained office is a foundational element in Christianity, but that, while the officers presided from the first, they rarely led. Thus, while Jesus' brother James presided as the ordained chief of the mother church in Jerusalem, it was Peter - Jesus' inspired veteran disciple - whose voice carried most authority. This revisionist historical account of Christian origins creatively subverts the established positions on church order, and thus opens up the arguments to new and larger conclusions.
Book Synopsis From Apostle to Priest by : James W. Falconer
Download or read book From Apostle to Priest written by James W. Falconer and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-19 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1900 edition has been reset in a modern font and some spellings have been updated for the convenience of the reader. This is NOT a scanned copy. How did the church respond to the vacuum left by the death of the apostles? This book studies the process that was followed by the early church to preserve the theology of the apostles. As radical ideas were introduced the church responded with increased organizational control. The new leadership of the church protected it from without and from within, but there were consequences as the power of the Bishop increased. James Falconer traces the evolution of the office of the priest in the Roman Catholic Church as he discusses its history and issues.
