Social Roles and Ministries in the oikos Theou according to the Pastoral Epistles.
Rezension
Korinna Zamfir explores the redefinition of social roles and ecclesial ministries in the Pastoral Epistles within a changed ecclesiological framework (the ekkl?sia as oikos Theou). She discusses the Pastoral Epistles as writings intimately linked to their Greco-Roman social and cultural environment. Zamfir argues that the ecclesiology of the Pastoral Epistles presupposes the metaphorical use of oikos Theou. The Pastoral Epistles define roles and ministries based on the public-private divide and on honor and shame mentality. The theo-logical and cosmic dimension of the »household of God« explains the essentialist understanding of these roles.
Korinna Zamfir explores the redefinition of social roles and ecclesial ministries in the Pastoral Epistles within a changed ecclesiology (the ekkl?sia as oikos and polis of God), focusing on the cultural and social background of station codes and church orders.
