Description
Summary:New Testament studies have variously explained the use of ekklesia with a reference to either the Old Testament concept of the assembly of Yahweh or to the civic assemblies of Hellenistic cities. In recent years the latter interpretation has found more and more adherents. By comparing the Acts oft he Apostles with the Gospel of Matthew this article points out that while Acts certainly seems to rely on the model of civic assemblies for calling the group of believers an ekklesia, the Gospel of Matthew favors a description based on the assembly of Yahweh. This indicates that the term, although widely used, was by no means unambiguous.
