This clear and user-friendly introduction to the interpretive
method called "epistolary analysis" shows how focusing on the form
and function of Paul's letters yields valuable insights into the
apostle's purpose and meaning. The author helps readers interpret
Paul's letters properly by paying close attention to the apostle's
use of ancient letter-writing conventions. Paul is an extremely
skilled letter writer who deliberately adapts or expands
traditional epistolary forms so that his persuasive purposes are
enhanced. This is an ideal supplemental textbook for courses on
Paul or the New Testament. It contains numerous analyses of key
Pauline texts, including a final chapter analyzing the apostle's
Letter to Philemon as a "test case" to demonstrate the benefits of
this interpretive approach.
