Letters and Homilies for Jewish Christians

A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on Hebrews, James and
Jude.Letters and Homilies for Jewish Christians is the second of
three volumes extending Ben Witherington's innovative socio-rhetorical analysis
of New Testament books to the latter-Pauline and non-Pauline corpora. A third
volume will extend the focus on Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians
begun in the first volume. By dividing the volumes according to the
socioreligious contexts for which they were written, Witherington sheds fresh
light on the documents, their provenance, character and importance. Throughout,
Witherington shows his thorough knowledge of recent literature on these texts
and focuses his attention on the unique insights brought about through
socio-rhetorical analysis that either reinforces or corrects those gleaned from
other approaches. 'Bridging the Horizons' sections point to the relevance of
the text for believers today, making this volume of special value to pastors
and general readers as well as to students and scholars. (= 0830829326
