Abstract
This dissertation provides an in-depth analysis of Paul’s leadership, focusing on its development amidst conflicts with interlopers seeking personal honour and higher authority positions in Roman Corinth. Key passages, including 2 Corinthians 10:10-11, 11:4, 11:22-23, 12:16-18, and 13:7, reveal the tensions between Paul and the Corinthians. To navigate these conflicts, Paul strategically reconstructs a shared identity centered on “Belonging to Christ.” Utilizing the Social Identity Approach to Leadership (the SIA to leadership), this research will analyze the distinctive features of Paul’s leadership. By comparing three leadership models from the Qumran communities, Hillel’s group, and the Greco-Roman associations, which are contemporaneous with Paul, the study provides a broader context for understanding his leadership approach. Our comprehensive analysis identifies humility, endurance of suffering and weakness, rejection of competitive honour-seeking, and attributing honour solely to Christ as central aspects of Paul’s leadership, as illuminated in 2 Corinthians 10-13. This investigation aims to enhance the understanding of Paul’s leadership dynamics in the context of ancient leadership models and contemporary leadership studies.
