Witherington provides a much-needed introduction to the ancient art of persuasion and its use within the various New Testament documents. More than just an exploration of the use of the ancient rhetorical tools and devices, this guide introduces the reader to all that went into convincing an audience about some subject. Witherington makes the case that rhetorical criticism is a more fruitful approach to the NT epistles than the oft-employed approaches of literary and discourse criticism. Familiarity with the art of rhetoric also helps teh reader explore non-epistolary genres. In addition to the general introduction to rhetorical criticism, the book guides readers through the many and varied uses of rhetoric in most NT documents - not only telling readers about rhetoric in the NT, but showing them the way it was employed.
Ben Witherington III is Amos professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and doctoral faculty at St Andrews University. He is the author of numerous books, including The Living Word (2008), Shifting the Paradigms (forthcoming), and several socio-rhetorical commentaries.
