Ancient Rhetoric and the Style of Paul’s Letters

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Decades into the renewed study of Paul’s rhetoric, a satisfying evaluation of his style remains elusive. Brookins’s thorough and thoughtfully crafted inventory of stylistic features gathers the raw material in an accessible and illuminating format. With a judicious introduction surveying the scholarly terrain, this book will be a valuable companion for readers seeking a richer appreciation of the stylistic texture of Paul’s letters.”

Paul and the Corinthians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Paul’s Corinthian correspondence provides a strikingly intimate window into the emergence and spread of the earliest Christ groups. But it is not a transparent window. With Paul and the Corinthians, Duff provides a clear and reliable guide to the contested exegetical and historical questions that cloud the study of the Corinthian letters. Duff’s judicious surveys of previous scholarship make this volume an ideal starting point for new students of the letters. His fresh and compelling proposals regarding the role of Apollos and the chronology of 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 will demand the engagement of established scholars.”
