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.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1884 Edition.
1884. The Sacred Books of the East series, comprising fifty
volumes, has translations of key sacred texts of Hinduism,
Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam.
The series was edited by the famous linguist Max Muller, who also
produced many of the translations and were the foundational
documents for the new discipline known as the comparative science
of religions. This volume contains The Saddharma-Pundarika or the
Lotus of the True Law and is one of the nine Dharmas known by the
titles of Ashtasahasrika Pragnaparamita; Ganda-vyuha;
Dasabhumisvara; Samadhi-raga; Lankavatara; Saddharma-pundarika;
Tathagata-guhyaka; Lalita-vistara; and Suvarna-prabhasa. See other
titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
1884. This work is volume XXI of the Sacred Books of the East
series. The Saddharma-Pundarika, one of the Mahayana sutras, is
perhaps the single most important Mahayana Buddhist work. It was
originally composed in India, with some sections written as early
as the beginning of the Christian era. The Lotus is held in esteem
by the Northern schools of Buddhism and by the Chinese and Japanese
Buddhists, particularly Tendai and later developments. Described as
the most eminent of all the sutras, the crown jewel in which all
Buddha laws are succinctly taught, the Lotus is a keystone in the
education of every serious Buddhist.
