This book examines the Lukan Jesus' speech, specifically his use of
rhetorical figures of speech, as a means of determining Luke's
message and rhetorical strategy of persuasion. Classical rhetoric
dominated both Greco-Roman higher education and public discourse in
the first-century Mediterranean world. Thus, both authors and
audiences in this era were familiar with the rudiments of rhetoric
whether or not they had formal rhetorical training. Rhetorical
figures of speech would have been easily recognized by an ancient
audience, arresting their attention. Luke used figures of speech on
the lips of Jesus as a means of persuading his audience of his
role-reversing message that threatened to turn the religious,
political, social, and economic systems of the Roman Empire
upside-down.
