The frequency with which Paul has recourse to affective, family language as well as showing one of his typical configuration models for the evkklhsi,a, at the same time reveals a controversial context: the congregations that the apostle created had no family ties, but sought to be one single family and one single house, yet retaining other characteristics similar to a public organisation. This ambiguity is easily detected in the actual places of meeting, which had features that were both private and public. The present text seeks to shed light on this ambiguity, supported by criteria relating to domestic spaces and the difference between private and public. And we will see, in due course, how these criteria emerge in the Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians in both directions: reflecting the ambiguity and seeking a greater public and political dimension for the evkklhsi,a.
