In the latest volume in the Emory Studies in Early Christianity
series, the contributors seek a better understanding of how various
biblical authors present their arguments, support their claims, and
attempt to persuade their readers. A century ago the rhetorical
analysis of texts focused on the study of rhetorical figures in
texts (elocutio). In the mid-twentieth century, scholars such as
James Muilenburg, Hans Dieter Betz, and Wilhelm Wuellner introduced
biblical scholars to the illustrious tradition of rhetorical study.
These scholars tended to focus on the arrangement of the texts
themselves (dispositio). During the last ten years, however,
interpreters have increasingly studied the rhetorical argumentation
in texts. The authors in this volume examine rhetorical
argumentation in the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels, the Pauline
letters, and the Book of Revelation, offering striking new readings
of these materials. Contributors include: J. David Hester (Amador),
Center for Rhetoric and Hermeneutics; R. Dean Anderson, Valkenburg,
