| Summary: | This paper discusses, in two parts, the "self-designations" for their readers which where used by the authors of the Pastoral Epistles (here in part one), the Johannine Letters and Revelation (to follow in part two). Different ways in which self-designations might relate to terms coined by outsiders are considered in the introduction. It is argued that the term "Christian" was an "outsider-coined" term, which does not seem to have been regularly used for the purposes of self-designation in the literature considered here. The key terms used for self-designation in the Pastoral Epistles are "brother and sister" and "the believers", which, it is argued here, are used both by the author and the readers. |
