Vernon K. Robbins The Invention of Christian Discourse (vol. I) is the first book in a major new series entitled the Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity. This opening volume displays how the New Testament was the product of religious thought, belief, and practice during the Hellenistic-Roman period of Mediterranean Antiquity. Building on an Israelite-Jewish heritage, first century Christians reconfigured Mediterranean philosophical, mantic (divine communication) and ritual streams of tradition into their own religious forms of discourse. This volume explores the special nature of first century Christian wisdom, prophetic, and apocalyptic discourse in contexts of diversity, multiplicity, violence, and uncertainty that share astonishing similarities with our world at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Vernon K. Robbins (Ph.D., Chicago) was appointed Winship Distinguished Research Professor in the Department and Graduate Division of Religion at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, in 2001 and Professor Extraordinary at the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, in 2006. His numerous publications include Jesus the Teacher (1984, 1992), The Tapestry of Early Christian Discourse, and Exploring the Texture of Texts. A Guide to Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation (1996). The 2003 Festschrift in his honour, Fabrics of Discourse, is a testimony to the remarkable creativity, scholarly depth, and international reach of his scholarship and influence in the field of New Testament and early Christian literature.
