Book Synopsis Liberating Words by : Rollin A. Ramsaran
Download or read book Liberating Words written by Rollin A. Ramsaran and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All cultures and all religious movements have their own traditional sayings, and most have a collection of religious maxims as well. This book shows how maxim usage is valuable in determining by whom, for whom, and how maxims are used to provide internal ordering, stability, and a general staple of teaching material for religious movements. In particular, readers are invited to consider the full and proper context that stands behind the social interaction of Paul and the believing community in Corinth. The author argues that this context is incomplete without a recognition of the rhetorical conventions of maxim usage in Paul's world. Understanding Paul's use of maxim argumentation as, in part, a response to the maxim argumentation of some Corinthians opens a window on 1 Corinthians 1-10 that has not been previously explored.

Book Synopsis Preaching the New Testament as Rhetoric by : Tim MacBride
Download or read book Preaching the New Testament as Rhetoric written by Tim MacBride and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-11-05 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the rise of the "New Homiletic" a generation ago, it has been recognized that sermons not only say something to listeners, they also do something. A truly expository sermon will seek not merely to say what the biblical text said, but also to do what the biblical text did in the lives of its original audience. In Preaching the New Testament as Rhetoric, MacBride looks how at the discipline of rhetorical criticism can help preachers discern the function of a New Testament text in its original setting as a means of crafting a sermon that can function similarly in contemporary contexts. Focusing on the letters of Paul, he shows how understanding them in light of Greco-Roman speech conventions can suggest ways by which preachers can communicate not just the content of the letters, but also their function. In this way, the power of the text itself can be harnessed, leading to sermons that inform and, most importantly, transform.
Book Synopsis Paul and Rhetoric by : J. Paul Sampley
Download or read book Paul and Rhetoric written by J. Paul Sampley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul and Rhetoric contains essays presented in a seminar called "Paul and Rhetoric" in the annual meetings of the Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, the leading international forum for New Testament and Christian Origin scholars. Translated into English, these essays, by leaders in the field and in the topic, engage and represent modern scholarship on Paul and rhetorical studies. The foundational essays are listed under the heading "State of the Discussion", attempting to take the major rhetorical categories of the time contemporary with Paul (types of rhetoric, invention and arrangement, and figures and tropes) and, first, lays out where the discussion is now. They then note the problems and highlight where continued discussion and deliberation would be helpful. The "Broad Questions" section asks what can be learned about reading Paul's letters to congregations in light of ancient epistolography, how theology and rhetoric are related (because the two are often treated as if they are alien to one another), and how ancient rhetoric and ancient psychology are associated with one another. This volume illustrates, examines and assesses where we are now in the study of rhetorical traditions in Pauline scholarship, and suggests the direction of future studies.
Book Synopsis The Social Significance of Reconciliation in Paul's Theology by : Corneliu Constantineanu
Download or read book The Social Significance of Reconciliation in Paul's Theology written by Corneliu Constantineanu and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-04-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an assessment of the social dimension to reconciliation as displayed in Paul's Letter to the Romans. Traditional exegetical scholarship has treated Paul's presentation of reconciliation as referring to reconciliation between people and God, and has primarily focused use of the word katallage - traditionally translated as 'atonement'. Constantineanu challenges this view and argues that Paul's understanding of the concept is more complex, employing rich symbolism to describe reconciliation with God and between human beings forming together an inseparable reality. The discussion is placed within Paul's overall religious, social and political contexts, showing that an analysis of the social dimension of reconciliation in his thought is both plausible and necessary. Constantineanu offers an analysis of two major sections of Romans, chapters 5-8 and 12-15. Special emphasis is placed on Paul's use of the story of Jesus for community formation, for the shaping of identity, values and community practices. It is thus demonstrated that for Paul God's reconciling initiative, shown in the crucifixion, is not only the pronouncement of God's reconciling the world, but also the ground and model for reconciliation among human beings. It was formerly the Journal for the Study of the New Testament Supplement , a book series that explores the many aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural and contextual approaches.
Book Synopsis Paul and Ancient Rhetoric by : Stanley E. Porter
Download or read book Paul and Ancient Rhetoric written by Stanley E. Porter and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-24 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul lived and breathed in a Hellenistic culture that placed high value on the art of rhetoric, and recent advances in rhetorical criticism of the New Testament have resulted in a new emphasis on the rhetorical aspect of his letters. As many scholars have pointed out, however, it is not clear to what extent ancient rhetoric actually influenced Paul and his writing or how important rhetoric is for interpreting the Pauline corpus. This volume, containing contributions from major figures in the field, provides a nuanced examination of how ancient rhetoric should inform our understanding of Paul and his letters. The essays discuss Paul's historical context, present innovative advances in and trenchant critiques of rhetorical theory, and offer fresh readings of key Pauline texts. Outlining the strengths and weaknesses of a widely used approach, Paul and Ancient Rhetoric will be a valuable resource for New Testament and Classics scholars.

Book Synopsis Rethinking Paul's Rhetorical Education by : Ryan S. Schellenberg
Download or read book Rethinking Paul's Rhetorical Education written by Ryan S. Schellenberg and published by Society of Biblical Lit. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies 2015 F. W. Beare Award Did Paul have formal training in Greco-Roman rhetoric, or did he learn what he knew of persuasion informally, as social practice? Pauline scholars recognize the importance of this question both for determining Paul’s social status and for conceptualizing the nature of his letters, but they have been unable to reach a consensus. Using 2 Corinthians 10–13 as a test case, Ryan Schellenberg undertakes a set of comparisons with non-Western speakers—most compellingly, the Seneca orator Red Jacket—to demonstrate that the rhetorical strategies Paul employs in this text are also attested in speakers known to have had no formal training in Greco-Roman rhetoric. Since there are no specific indicators of formal training in the way Paul uses these strategies, their appearance in his letters does not constitute evidence that Paul received formal rhetorical education.

Book Synopsis Servants of Satan, False Brothers, and Other Opponents of Paul by : Jerry L. Sumney
Download or read book Servants of Satan, False Brothers, and Other Opponents of Paul written by Jerry L. Sumney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets out a method for identifying the opponents in view in Paul's letters, and then applies it to the relevant writings of the Pauline corpus. The method limits the use of parallels or prior constructions as a basis for identification, dealing with each letter on an individual basis and taking full acount of the historical and social context. Sumney concludes that the Pauline letters address different kinds of opposition in different places, including two distinct anti-Paul movements. Here is a fundamental study for research into a basic problem of the Pauline correspondence.
