In the context of growing inequality in the twenty-first century,
That There May Be Equality seeks to give new audibility to Paul’s
appeal to the principle of “equality” in the collection for the
poor. L.L. Welborn traces the history of the concept of
“equality” in Greek history in order to convey the potency of
the idea which Paul invokes. He analyzes the structural inequality
of the Roman economy, particularly that of Roman Corinth, and
traces the emergence of Paul’s concern about inequality in the
ekklēsia of Christ believers at Corinth. Welborn then analyzes
Paul’s invocation of the principle of “equality” in his
appeal for partnership in the collection for the poor in 2
Corinthians 8 and 9, bringing Paul’s appeal to “equality”
into the present-day crisis of global inequality.
