Erastus of Corinth (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. According to the New Testament Epistle to the Romans, Erastus was a steward (Greek:, oikonomos) in Corinth, a political office of high civic status. The word is defined as "the manager of household or of household affairs" or, in this context, "treasurer"; The King James Version uses the translation "chamberlain," while the New International Version uses "director of public works." A person named Erastus is also mentioned in the Second Epistle to Timothy and Acts. Although, it is not certain if these verses all refer to the one person or multiple persons names Erastus.
