| Summary: | The term 'super-apostles' denotes the Jerusalem apostles. Paul uses it of the visiting missionaries in Corinth because he thinks it just possible that some of the Jerusalem apostles might be included amongst them. The visiting missionaries are both the 'servants of Christ' and the 'servants of Satan'. They represent themselves as associates of Peter, whom they regard as the model apostle. In Paul's view, they imitate the dual role of Peter (in the synoptic tradition) as spokesman of God and spokesman of Satan. |
