Paul, Democracy, and the Corinthians by L. L. Welborn
Requirements: .PDF reader, 7.4 MB
Overview: In *Paul, Democracy, and the Corinthians*, L. L. Welborn reveals how the apostle Paul’s letters are saturated with democratic language—*ekklesia* (assembly), *parrhesia* (free speech), and *isotes* (equality)—and evidence of democratic practices like voting and women speaking in the assembly. Welborn argues that the Christ-followers in Corinth enacted a radical, egalitarian democracy that stood in stark contrast to the political realities of first-century Roman rule. The book then challenges readers to consider what this ancient, grassroots democratic ethos might mean for democracy’s struggles today.
