Book Description:

First Clement responds to a crisis in the Corinthian church by enjoining an ethic of subordination especially to the presbyteroi and episkopoi. Welborn examines the letter's deliberative rhetoric, its blending of citations from the Old Testament and Paul's letters, and its reliance on topoi from Greco-Roman civic discourse.
