This chapter highlights three political strategies that are behind the silencing of nondominant languages: the politics of race, the politics of gender, and the politics of imperialism. It suggests that Paul employs these strategies for the sole purpose of unifying the diversity of languages in the Corinthian congregation. The politics of race is apparent when Paul uses the term βάρβαρος in 1 Cor. 14:11. Paul employs the politics of gender when he discusses the silencing of women in 1 Cor. 14:32–36. And finally, the politics of imperialism is apparent in Paul’s theological insistence that God is a God of peace. |
