Description

Explore the deep historical roots of Christian ministry with Diakonia: Re-Interpreting the Ancient Sources from Oxford University Press. This text provides the first comprehensive study of the Greek word 'diakonia', the linguistic foundation from which the term 'deacon' is derived. While the word appears frequently throughout the New Testament, its exact meaning has been a subject of long-standing debate among scholars. This study examines how 'diakonia' is commonly translated as 'service' or 'ministry' and how this interpretation has shaped the modern consensus regarding the nature of Christian work. By investigating the relationship between diakonia and the diakonos (deacon), this book clarifies how the concept of a 'servant' informs the roles within the church. For students of theology, historians, and readers interested in biblical linguistics, this work offers a detailed look at how ancient terminology continues to influence religious practice and understanding today.
