We seek to highlight that within the context of these relations in the Roman empire in the first century, the texts of the New Testament mostly present the perspective of a counter-power or heterotopy. This is expressed through the concept and experience of the Kingdom of God. In a set of texts that presuppose and critically analyse the dominant power, the exercise of power is presented as diakonia, especially in relation to the most vulnerable people. Jesus is the model for this service-power, which empowers men and women in ekklēsíai to follow the Lord in faithfulness. |
