Deo Titles - Vernon K. Robbins
Vernon K. Robbins This book is the first title in a major new series of works of socio-rhetorical commentary on the New Testament and other early Christian literature. Early Christians reconfigured forms of discourse in ways that helped them create special social, cultural, and ideological environments for religious expression in Mediterranean sociey. This volume sets out tools, insights, and strategies for commentators to interpret the NT as a creative mode of discourse within its environment. In the process this breaks the mold of the modern commentary genre. Vernon K. Robbins (PhD, Chicago) is Professor of New Testament, Graduate School of Religion, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia. 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). A Festschrift was published in his honor in 2004. Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity, 1 ISBN 90 5854 012 9 Pbk. c. 300pp. c. £24.95/ $34.95/ € 35 Forthcoming Fall 2006 |
