Rhetorical criticism seeks to understand and comment on the way
texts function in their social and cultural contexts. Holloway puts
Paul's letter in the context of ancient theories and literary
practices of 'consolation' and argues that Paul wrote to the
Philippians in order to console them. Holloway shows that the
letter has a unified overall strategy and provides a convincing
account of Paul's argument. The book falls into two parts. Part I
explores the integrity of Philippians, the rhetorical situation of
the letter, and ancient consolation as the possible genre of
Philippians, while Part II examines Phil. 1:3-11; 1:12-2:30;
3:1-4:1 and 4:2-23. The exegetical studies in Part II focus on the
consolatory topoi and arguments of Philippians.
