Description

If someone says that Paul is not a problem, then we can probably guess that they have not understood all of Paul. (1) Rick Hordern's statement is as true now as it was over twenty years ago. The apostle Paul continues to be somewhat of an enigma for serious students of the Bible. This is especially true when it comes to Paul's use of technical terms in his letters. As Hordern goes on to point out: "[Paul] is agonizingly specific at many points, speaking to situations which have long since passed and which we today cannot fully reconstruct, yet at other times he can speak with a universal flair." (2) This article will focus on Paul's use of one particular term and its possible significance in Paul's letter to the church at Rome. It is my contention that [TEXT NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] in Rom 1:1 serves as (1) a technical term for the apostle Paul, and (2) that in this particular instance, along with some other significations, it can be understood as an allusion to the Familia Caesaris, the household of Caesar, but specifically the slaves and freedpersons that belonged to the imperial household.
