<br/><br/> The author sheds new light on the way Paul understood his `partnership in Christ` with individuals and communities, and how he drew on understandings of everyday associations and transactions to clarify that relationship. Specifically Sampley seeks to identify the presence and assess the function of the Roman legal `partnership` the consentual societas, in key Pauline Epistles - Galatians, Philippians, Corinthians, Philemon. Paul is shown to have been creatively flexible in adapting the legal traditions and terminology of societas for theological purposes.
