Document Details : Title: Crowns in 1 Thessalonians, Philippians, and 1 Corinthians Author(s): PETERS, Janelle Journal: Biblica Volume: 96 Issue: 1 Date: 2015 Pages: 67-84 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.96.1.3183410 Abstract : The image of the crown appears in 1 Thess 2,19, Phil 4,1, and 1 Cor 9,25. However, the crowns differ. While the community constitutes the apostle’s crown in 1 Thessalonians and Philippians, the crown in 1 Corinthians is one of communal contestation. In this paper, I compare the image of the crown in each of the letters. I argue that the crown in 1 Corinthians, available to all believers even at Paul’s expense, is the least hierarchical of the three crowns. |
