Socio-rhetorical criticism has established itself as one of the
promising new methods of biblical study today. Vernon K. Robbins
here provides an accessible introduction to socio-rhetorical
criticism, illustrating the method by guiding the reader through
the study of specific New Testament texts and stories.An opening
chapter outlines this new approach and its focus on values,
convictions, and beliefs both in the texts we read and in the world
in which we live. Then follow chapters on getting inside a text
(inner texture), that is, studying the internal aspects of words
and meanings in the text: entering the interactive world of the
test (intertexture, ), that is relating the text being interpreted
to a wide range of phenomena that lie outside the text: living with
the text in the world (social and cultural texture), that is,
examining the social and cultural locations in the world that the
language of the text evokes: and shared interests in commentary and
in the text (ideological texture), that is, looking at the way the
text itself and interpreters of the text position themselves in
relation to other individuals and groups.Texts studied include the
rich man and Jesus in Mark 10:17-22 (inner texture): the Pentecost
event in Acts 2 (intertexture): the woman who anointed Jesus in
Luke 7:36-50 and John 9 (social and cultural texture): the
Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-40 and "women keep silent" in 1
Corinthians 14: 26-40 (ideological texture).Vernon K. Robbins is
Professor of Religion in the Department of Religion, Emory
University, and the author of Ancient Quotes and Anecdotes: From
Crib to Crypt and The Rhetoric of Pronouncement.
