Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians, 2

A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary on 1 - 2 Peter.Letters and
Homilies for Hellenized Christians, Volume 2 is the third of three volumes
extending Ben Witherington's innovative socio-rhetorical analysis of New
Testament books to the latter-Pauline and non-Pauline corpora. 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. (= 0830829334 / 9780830829330)Recommended € 39,90
