Paul and gossip : a social mechanism in early Christian communities

Abstract

This study proposes that gossip played a considerable role in the tensions and misunderstandings surrounding the activities of Paul. Not only was Paul often a subject of gossip, but his handling of this very potent form of social interaction within the housefold context did little to abate the problems.
