This monograph challenges the accepted notion that Galatians is
either a sample of classical rhetoric or should be interpreted in
light of Graeco-Roman rhetorical handbooks. It demonstrates that
the handbooks of Aristotle, Cicero, et al. discuss a form of
oratory which was limited with respect to subject, venue and style
of communication, and that Galatians falls outside such boundaries.
The inapplicability of ancient canons of rhetoric is reinforced by
a detailed comparison of Galatians with the handbooks, a survey of
patristic attitudes towards Paul's communicative technique, and
interaction with twentieth-century discussions of the nature of New
Testament Greek. Dr Kern concludes that rhetorical handbooks were
never a tool of literary criticism and that they cannot assist the
search for a distinctly Pauline rhetoric. Thus this study has
implications not only for Galatians, but also for other New
Testament epistles.
