As Paul guides and educates his converts he functions as a psychagogue (“leader of souls”), adapting his leadership style as required in each individual case. Pauline psychagogy resembles Epicurean psychagogy in the way persons enjoying a superior moral status and spiritual aptitude help to nurture and correct others, guiding their souls in moral and religious (re)formation. This study relates Epicurean psychagogy of late Republican times to early Christian psychagogy on the basis of an investigation which places the practice in the wider socio-cultural perspective, contextualising it in Greco-Roman literature treating friendship and flattery and the importance of adaptability in moral guidance. Pauline studies are advanced by the introduction of new material into the discussion of the Corinthian correspondence which throws light on Paul's debate with his recalcitrant critics.

What is the essence of Christianity? How does the Christian Faith relate to the Jewish Faith? How do we understand and interpret the New Testament (= NT)? Are there any principles and rules as well as tools which can guide us, so that we can understand the NT as it was intended? Is the NT passé and out of date, as some think, who compare it with the world view of Egypt and Mesopotamia 2000 years B.C.? The Author produces concrete evidence that the Greek world view that the NT shares, was quite modern, laying the foundation for all modern sciences. The supposed conflict between science and Faith is a myth! The author's insights into the language and culture of the NT offer the reader a unique possibility for a fuller understanding of the NT. The reader is offered all the help he/she needs with many examples of how to go about in order to understand the NT in depth.
The book of Acts has served as the foundational biblical text for the development of Pentecostal theology and biblical studies since the outpouring of the Spirit at the Azuza Street Revival in 1906. Now, over one hundred years have past since the Azuza Street Revival and the book of Acts is still at the forefront of the Pentecostal dialogue. Trajectories in Acts draws together the work of leading Pentecostal scholars each bringing their expertise to bear in tracing and developing trajectories in Acts. These essays have been brought together as a Festschrift in order to celebrate the influence, scholarship, and teaching career of John Wesley Wyckoff, a noted figure in the Assemblies of God and a known voice in the Pentecostal dialogue.
