In his Epistle to the Philippians, Paul positions himself as an
example of 'being in Christ'. The way in which he does this points
out that he consciously positions himself in the tradition of
classical rhetoric, where the use of paradigms (exempla) was a
standard element in deliberative arguing. Paul describes his life
as coloured by Christ in such a way that he represents Christ to
the Philippians, and the response he hopes to evoke in their
congregation is that of similar behaviour. The analysis of Smit
combines observations on classical rhetoric, exegetical analyses of
Philippians, and views from the perspective of gender and
masculinity studies into a new and fresh analysis of the material.
He shows that ancient ideals of deliberative rhetoric have
influenced Philippians in much the same way in which they appear in
e.g. Aristotle, Plutarch, and (also) 2 Maccabees. This study both
positions Paul in the cultural context of his day and indicates the
newness of his enterprise.
