This article seeks to define ‘spiritual formation’ as it would be understood by the apostle, and to relate that concept to his teaching on spiritual gifts, with particular reference to 1 Corinthians and Ephesians. It argues that in Ephesians spiritual gifts of wisdom and revelation build the ‘body’ towards the goal of cosmic re-unification in Christ, by deepening corporate grasp of the central mystery of the gospel.

Samra, Being Conformed to Christ in Community, pp. 34-36. For this, and for more theological reasons for the neglect of Paul on maturation in the community, see the whole of his §1.3.

See E. Randolph Richards, Paul and First-Century Letter Writing: Secretaries, Composition and Collection (Downer’s Grove: IVP, 2004), Chapter 10. For Ephesians, Colossians, and Philemon, on the basis of Richard’s research, I compute the cost of wax drafts (revised), final papyrus draft, and neat final copies, factoring in secretarial time, would be nearly 16 dinars (approximately equivalent to $1720 today). And that is before Tychicus and Philemon even took the first step of their long journey, with all its costs. Richards himself calculates $2275 for Romans (before dispatch), and just under that for 1 Corinthians. The average length of a papyrus letter was 89 words, so even Philemon, clocking in at 335 words, would seem on the longish side—indeed, longer than the average letter by the prolific Cicero.
See esp. G.P. Wiles, Paul’s Intercessory Prayers: The Significance of the Intercessory Prayer Passages in the Letters of Saint Paul (Cambridge: CUP, 1974).
Rabens, Spirit, p. 123. His Part II is 120 pages of tight exegesis in support of this relational model.
See Max Turner, The Holy Spirit and Spiritual Gifts: Then and Now (Carlisle: Paternoster, 1999), Chapter 15, with special debt to J.D.G. Dunn, Jesus and the Spirit: A Study of the Religious and Charismatic Experience of Jesus and the First Christians as Reflected in the New Testament (London: SCM, 1975), esp. Chapters 8-11; K.S. Hemphill, Spiritual Gifts Empowering the New Testament Church (Nashville: Broadman, 1988; more especially his 1977 Cambridge PhD), and Fee, Empowering Presence, esp. pp. 146-261.
So, e.g., Lincoln, p. 60; O’Brien, p. 135; Hoehner, p. 267 and Arnold, pp. 108-9. Contrast, e.g., Best, pp. 167-68, who considers the topic to be our inheritance amongst the saints, that is, heavenly beings, angels, thereby, of course using a different sense of the word ‘saints’ from elsewhere in the letter.
