Abstract

The author investigates conflict in the life of the early church in order to determine whether or not conflict functioned cohesively for her at any point. The thesis was that the church lived out of the 'peace' that Christ gave which included conflict in some instances. The method of study was to formulate a socilogical exegetical model of biblical exegesis, apply that model to two pericopes in 1 and 2 Corinthians, and develop a leadership Bible study emphasizing the cohesive functions of conflict discovered in the exegesis. The author identified several cohesive functions of conflict (following Lewis A Coser's lead) and noted their contemporary significance.
