Many texts in the New Testament do more than simply explain the
main tenets of the Christian faith; they invite believers to
imagine and experience their theological claims. In Not with Wisdom
of Words Gary Selby examines how the New Testament writers shift
their mode of discourse from explaining or arguing points of
doctrine to representing those doctrines poetically, bringing the
realities of the faith, as the ancient writers put it, "before the
eyes" of their audience. Bridging the disciplines of rhetorical
studies, biblical studies, and theology, Selby draws on two central
concepts from the classical tradition of poetics - mimesis, or
representation, and phantasia, or visualization - to demonstrate
how the New Testament writers understood the connection between
faith and visionary, poetic language. This unique perspective on
reading New Testament texts will be important not only for scholars
and students but also for homiletic and liturgical practice in the
contemporary church. "Gary Selby is well-read in classical rhetoric
and the New Testament. . . . This work offers much-needed
recognition of the dramatic and imaginative world of Paul's
rhetoric." - Anthony C. Thiselton, University of Nottingham
