'Enemies of the Cross' employs classical rhetorical analysis to
examine how Paul structures a deliberative argument using his
understanding of the 'cross of Christ'. His goals are to
guide/advise the Philippian community through internal and external
strife (ch. 2), combat his opponents (ch.3), and develop his notion
of the eschatological community (3:18-21). Williams proposes that
while Paul has a 'theology of the death of Jesus', of which cross
terminology is one of several aspects, this terminology is used
almost exclusively in polemical/conflictual contexts. Hence Paul
appears to be using 'cross of Christ' not so much as a doctrine but
rather as a rhetorical tool, in a context of conflict and strife,
to support his understanding of eschatology, apostolic service, the
nature of Christian existence, and community among the saints.
