As Paul guided and educated his converts he functioned as a
psychagogue ("leader of souls"), adapting his leadership style as
required in each individual case. Pauline psychagogy resembles
Epicurean psychagogy in the way persons enjoying a superior moral
status and spiritual aptitude helped to nurture and correct others,
guiding their souls in moral and religious (re)formation. This
study relates Epicurean psychagogy of late Republican times to
early Christian psychagogy on the basis of an investigation which
places the practice in the wider socio-cultural perspective,
contextualizing it in Greco-Roman literature treating friendship
and flattery and the importance of adaptability in moral guidance.
Pauline studies are advanced by the introduction of new material
into the discussion of the Corinthian correspondence which throws
light on Paul's debate with his recalcitrant critics.
