A Model Of Divine Empowerment: A Socio-Rhetorical Analysis Of The Relationship Between The Ascension Of Christ And Leadership Empowerment In Ephesians 4:1-16

This study found that leaders are divinely empowered and authorized to participate with God mediating the relationships between God and man and among men. Ephesians 4:1-16 was chosen to be examined because of the importance of Paul's epistles to the development of the church and because it specifically associates deity-the ascended Christ-with leadership functions. Sociorhetorical analysis of the text found five components that comprise divine empowerment: calling, participation, membership, authority, and mediating roles.
