In this illuminating study Kathy Ehrensperger looks at the question
of Paul's use of power and authority as an apostle who understands
himself as called to proclaim the Gospel among the gentiles.
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.
