 +I order to learn about all of this, I want to put together an introductory study of the Bible and its structure as a unified whole. That means I want to study out a "biblical theology," like Walter Kaiser described:

 +>Biblical theology is the quest for the big picture or the theological wholeness and the overview that brings out the unity, the plan, the cohesiveness, and the purpose of God as that plan moves through the course of history.

 The person charged with managing the resources and/or household affairs of another is called, in English, a steward. And (wouldn't you know!) that English word "steward" in the King James Bible is a translation of //oikonomos//, thus showing us that each dispensation is an economy based on the stewardship that God gives a steward, expecting that steward to manage the resources and affairs committed to him by the Lord according to the will and desires of the Lord.  The person charged with managing the resources and/or household affairs of another is called, in English, a steward.
