Going against the false perception that all Latinx views on the
Bible are homogeneous, the contributors in this book use different
hermeneutic perspectives to interpret the New Testament. Each
chapter examines one of the 27 documents thematically instead of
following the traditional verse-by-verse commentary format.
Paul's Literary Style determines quantitatively how Paul varies the
style of his writing to assist communication with different
communities and to ascertain some constant characteristics of his
writing. Using 2 Corinthians 11:16-12:13, Romans 8:9-39, and
Philippians 3:2-4:13, the author uncovers the performance of ten
stylistic operations: sentence changes, complexity of the writing,
adverbs and adverbial clauses, propositional reduction; logical
diagrams, abstract versus concrete nouns, imagery, Leo Spitzer's
philological circle, verb density, and variety of sentence length.
In this study, stylistics denotes the use of linguistics as a tool
of literary criticism by which to investigate the aesthetic effects
of language. This methodology produces an investigation to compare
Paul's style of communication to three different communities and
discover his adaptations to different audiences.
In a thorough and insightful commentary on Paul's letter to his
co-worker Timothy, which the Apostle wrote before and during Nero's
persecution, Aida Besancon Spencer carefully examines each part of
the letter and relates it to the overall flow of the argument and
in light of the larger biblical, historical, social, and cultural
contexts. How Paul's writing related to the ancient communities is
highlighted in the light of original data gleaned from her
explorations on location in Ephesus and throughout Greece. In
addition, Paul's rhetorical and ministry strategies, especially as
they relate to women and their role in the church, are explored.
Throughout, Spencer presents an in-depth exegesis in a readable
format enhanced by forty years of ministry.

Have you ever wondered how egalitarian and complementarian
marriages play out differently on a day-to-day level? In this
unique book Aida and William Spencer and Steve and Celestia Tracy,
two couples from the differing perspectives of egalitarianism and
soft complementarianism, share a constructive dialogue about
marriage in practice. They cover a variety of topics like marriage
discipleship, headship and submission, roles and decision-making,
and intimacy in marriage. Also included are responses from three
additional cultural frameworks: North American Hispanic, Korean
American and African American. Whether you're still working out
your views on marriage or have found an approach you're comfortable
with, this book will help you better understand the two
perspectives on the ground level. While the theological starting
points are different, you may be surprised to see the degree of
convergence on practical issues as the dialogue unfolds.
