Composed in 1809 in order to organize and direct a loosely
assembled network of Scots-Irish Presbyterians on the Western
Pennsylvania frontier, the Declaration and Address of the Christian
Association of Washington never quite achieved the immediate
objectives that compelled its composition. Yet the document's lofty
vision of a unified Christian Church, restored to the peace and
purity that the New Testament had preached and promised, has for
generations fueled the imagination and fired the commitment of
millions of Christians worldwide with, often, quite contradictory
results. Emerging from the work of an international online seminar,
this truly monumental volume presents a definitive text with
critical apparatus for a landmark document in the history of
American religion and worldwide Christian ecumenism, along with
eighteen insightful, incisive studies of the document's historical
provenance, its theological and ecclesiological significance, and
its continuing influence.

Description: ""We offer this collection as a token of our affection
and admiration of our friend and colleague James Weldon Thompson. .
. . His studies of the letter to the Hebrews and of Paul in their
intellectual contexts (especially Middle Platonism) have
contributed significantly to the ongoing quest for placing the New
Testament in its socio-intellectual setting. Although his
publications in this area date back more than thirty years, his
best work is occurring now, and we may anticipate path-breaking
contributions ahead. His more recent work on preaching and pastoral
care in Paul both situate the Apostle in his own world and, just as
importantly, offer correctives of some contemporary ministerial
practices and invitations for improvements. Since 1993 Thompson has
served as the editor of Restoration Quarterly, a significant venue
for research in biblical studies, church history (especially of the
Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement), and contemporary theology.
His more popular works make available to a lay audience thoughtful,
well-informed, and spiritually rewarding interpretations of much of
the New Testament. ""His achievements, however, do not end at the
printing press. For more than thirty years, he has taught ministers
and others at the Institute for Christian Studies (now Austin
Graduate School of Theology) and Abilene Christian University.
Students of the past and the present speak of him as a prepared,
stimulating, and creative teacher unafraid of experimentation for a
new generation of learners. At both institutions he also served as
an administrator, first as President of ICS and then as Associate
Dean of ACU's Graduate School of Theology. His colleagues respect
his ability to enlist them for work as needed and otherwise to get
out of their way, certainly a too rare set of skills in university
administrators "" --from the Preface About the Contributor(s): Mark
W. Hamilton is Associate Professor of Hebrew Bible at Abilene
Christian University and author, most recently, of The Body Royal:
The Social Poetics of Kingship in Ancient Israel. Thomas H.
Olbricht is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Religion at
Pepperdine University. He is the author and editor of numerous
works including, most recently, Lifted Up: Crucifixion,
Resurrection, and Community in John. Jeffrey Peterson is Wright
Professor of New Testament at Austin Graduate School of Theology.
He is the author of many essays on early Christianity and its
applicability to contemporary life.
This volume contains 28 essays in honor of Abraham J. Malherbe,
whose work has been especially influential in exploring modes of
cultural interaction between early Jews and Christians and their
Graeco-Roman neighbours. Following an introductory essay on the
problems inherent to such comparative studies in the history of New
Testament scholarship, the essays are grouped into five topic
areas: Graphos - semantics and writing, Ethos - ethics and moral
characterization, Logos - rhetoric and literary expression, Ethnos
- self-definition and acculturation, and Nomos - law and normative
values. Some key examples are studies dealing with The Greek Idea
of "Divine Nature" and its relation to the "Divine Man" tradition;
Compilation of Letters in Cicero's collection; Radical Altruism in
Paul; Greek Ideas of Concord and Cosmic Harmony in 1 Clement; The
Rhetorical Use of Friendship Motifs in Galatians in comparison with
Second Sophistic Orators; Wills and Testaments in Graeco-Roman
perspective.
In the latest volume in the Emory Studies in Early Christianity
series, the contributors seek a better understanding of how various
biblical authors present their arguments, support their claims, and
attempt to persuade their readers. A century ago the rhetorical
analysis of texts focused on the study of rhetorical figures in
texts (elocutio). In the mid-twentieth century, scholars such as
James Muilenburg, Hans Dieter Betz, and Wilhelm Wuellner introduced
biblical scholars to the illustrious tradition of rhetorical study.
These scholars tended to focus on the arrangement of the texts
themselves (dispositio). During the last ten years, however,
interpreters have increasingly studied the rhetorical argumentation
in texts. The authors in this volume examine rhetorical
argumentation in the Hebrew Bible, the Gospels, the Pauline
letters, and the Book of Revelation, offering striking new readings
of these materials. Contributors include: J. David Hester (Amador),
Center for Rhetoric and Hermeneutics; R. Dean Anderson, Valkenburg,
The Netherlands; Harold W. Attridge, Yale Divinity School; L.
Gregory Bloomquist, St. Paul University, Ottawa; Michael R. Cosby,
Messiah College; Rodney K. Duke, Appalachian State University;

Rhetoric, Scripture and Theology aptly describe the contents of
this collection of essays from the 1994 Pretoria Rhetoric
Conference. The conference marked a significant dialogue among
scholars gathered from many nations to consider how rhetoric
engages with the study of scripture and theology. South Africa
provided a suitable context for such discussion. Although the
contributors are not only from South Africa, the addressing of
issues pertinent to a South African context shows through in many
of the essays. Those that do not address particularly South African
issues raise equally important issues regarding the topic of
rhetoric and its relation to contemporary theological discourse.
This is the third in a series of conference papers on rhetorical
criticism. Held in July 1995 in London, the conference included
participants from the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada,
Germany, Italy, Switzerland and the Republic of South Africa. Part
I is concerned with the past, present and future of rhetorical
analysis; Parts II, III and IV are concerned with rhetorical
analysis of scriptural texts; and Part V provides a conclusion
reflecting on a number of questions raised in Part I. Most of the
participants would characterize themselves as advocates of
rhetorical criticism; but there were others less convinced that
rhetorical criticism is developing as it ought.>
