The Forgotten Legacy: Three Important Words In Stewardship

Abstract

The shift in the content of stewardship is possible because of an understanding that develops away from its original purpose. It is no longer the same as the inheritance that was declared to the next successor. This fact certainly applies to Christian stewardship. Recognizing the contents of the inheritance and how to transfer it to the successors of stewardship can be studied from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. His first letters are in chapters 11 and 15. Through several textual approaches and developing the results of these approaches, three important words are found regarding the true heritage: parelabon, paradoka and paradosis. Concretely for the development of faith in adults in the articulation of didaskalia and pedagogy is rooted in those three words that Paul mentioned in the middle of the congregation. And its implementation is mainly carried out as often as possible among believers.
