Korinna Zamfir explores the manner in which the Pastoral Epistles redefine roles and ministries within a changed ecclesiological framework (the ekklesia as oikos Theou). The contextual investigation focuses on the cultural and social background of the station codes and church orders. Applying the environmental approach advanced by Abraham Malherbe Zamfir discusses the Pastoral Epistles as writings intimately linked to their Greco-Roman social and cultural environment.
