Leadership And Suvering In The Letters Of Polycarp And Paul To The Philippians
View through CrossRef
Abstract
A comparison of the letters that Paul and Polycarp sent to Philippi suggests some new directions in the study of Polycarp’s letter. Two key points of comparison between the letters concern leadership and suVering. Paul and Polycarp present somewhat diVerent models of leadership in the two letters. This diVerence maps rather well on to the diVerence in style between the letters, especially in the impression of a certain diYdence on the part of Polycarp. Something has also changed in the leadership of the Philippian church.
