Written in clear, and at times colorful, prose, Ben
Witheringtonas "Whatas in the Word" explains how the recognition of
the oral and socio-rhetorical character of the New Testament and
its environment necessitates a change in how the New Testament
literature is read. Expanding on the work in which he has been
fruitfully engaged for over a quarter century, Witherington
challenges the previously assured results of historical criticism
and demonstrates chapter by chapter how the socio-rhetorical study
shifts the paradigm.
Taken together, the chapters in "Whatas in the Word" coalesce
around three of Witheringtonas ongoing academic concerns: orality
and rhetoric; New Testament history, including issues of
authenticity and canonicity; and the exegesis of given words in
their canonical and socio-cultural contexts. Always unpredictable,
this book never fails to pique interest and proffer
instruction.
