Passages about Managing Relationships within Organizations (Oikonomia)

Bruno Dyck

Chapter 7 in Management and the Gospel, 2013, pp 53-63 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Scholars have recognized that Luke makes more references to oikos than any other New Testament writer, that Luke generally promotes nonconventional forms of oikos, and that for Luke oikos becomes “the scene and symbol of divine action, salvation, and human community.”1 In order to examine what Luke says about oikonomia, we will examine Luke’s descriptions of its three key dimensions: husband-wife relationships, parent-child relationships, and master-slave relationships. Taken together, these passages in Luke consistently critique traditional first-century organizational structures and systems, and point to alternative ways of doing oikos.
