Ancient Rhetoric and Paul's Apology

Více o knize

Focusing on the unity of 2 Corinthians, Fredrick Long challenges traditional Pauline scholarship that views the text as a composite of multiple letters. He employs Classical literary and rhetorical frameworks, drawing parallels with ancient apology traditions from notable figures like Andocides and Socrates. Through a thorough examination and genre analysis of ancient forensic discourse, Long argues for a cohesive interpretation of Paul's message, offering insights into how the text can be understood as a singular, unified work.
