Leadership is exemplified throughout the sacred text of the bible. One leader, who addressed many leadership issues in the New Testament church, was the Apostle Paul. With the authority given to him by God, the Apostle Paul traveled rigorously throughout the Mediterranean taking territory for the kingdom of God, spreading the gospel of the kingdom of God and the truth of Jesus the Christ. In his travels, the Apostle Paul established many new churches in the regions that he travelled throughout his journey. After he left the region that he had been in the Apostle Paul still communicated with and oversaw the churches that helped establish.
The Apostle Paul corresponded with the churches by letter and these epistles became incorporated into the New Testament of the sacred text of the bible.

The Apostle “Paul was intimately involved with the church in Corinth. He had led in its establishment, had kept in close touch with it, and was now writing in the face of pressing needs” (Munn, 1960, p. 5).

Paul’s pneumatology found in his writings has been a matter of interest in recent New Testament scholarship. Gordon Fee has been a great contributor in this area and in Paul, the Spirit and the People of God he outlines the various elements found in Pauline pneumatology giving us greater insight into this subject. In this paper I will highlight some of these elements that are unique to Paul and are not found in the Synoptic Gospels and Acts.
