Scholarly studies consider Paul's views on leadership tend to fall
into one of three camps: 1) the historical development view, which
in large measure identifies developments in church practice with
developments in Pauline and deutero-Pauline ecclesiology; 2) the
synchronic, historical reconstruction, typically making use of
Graeco-Roman, social context sources, or social-scientific
modelling, focusing on a single congregation, and sometimes
distinguishing between the situation to which Paul was responding
and the pattern he sought to impose; and 3) the
theological/hermeneutical analysis, identifying Paul's particular
approach to power and authority, often independently of any
detailed reconstruction of the situations to which Paul was
responding. 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.
