This book looks in detail at Paul's description of apostles in 1
Corinthians 4 and 9 as divinely appointed administrators
(oikonomoi) and considers what this tells us about the nature of
his own apostolic authority. John Goodrich investigates the origin
of this metaphor in light of ancient regal, municipal and private
administration, initially examining the numerous domains in which
oikonomoi were appointed in the Graeco-Roman world, before
situating the image in the private commercial context of Roman
Corinth. Examining the social and structural connotations attached
to private commercial administration, Goodrich contemplates what
Paul's metaphor indicates about apostleship in general terms as
well as how he uses the image to defend his apostolic rights. He
also analyses the purpose and limits of Paul's authority - how it
is constructed, asserted and contested - by examining when and how
Paul uses and refuses to exercise the rights inherent in his
position.
