Odell-Scott argues that for Paul, no one may boast that they are selected by God, and no one has the authority to rule as God's representative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul also criticizes those who exhibit a superior \"sacredness\" over other community members. Contrary to most scholarly views, Odell-Scott argues that Paul is not taking sides in a debate about the proper authority structure. Rather, he criticizes any notion of such a structure, opposing it with his metaphor of the Church as the body of Christ and the \"sacred family\" of God. The exegesis is also sketched out in a postmodern framework criticizing hierarchy through differentiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Odell-Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567283356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567283351\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T\u0026amp;T Clark\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.42d","brand":"David Odell-Scott","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48991971115263,"sku":"9780567283351","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pauls-critique-of-theocracy-david-odell-scott-9780567283351","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
