Several of these "letters" are much better understood as homilies - though, like the rest of the New Testament, they are all situation specific. Using socio-rhetorical tools of analysis, Witherington sets about to place each text within its socioreligious milieu, and to understand the particular issues that confronted each congregation and the rhetorical strategies employed by each author in addressing those issues." "Extensive annotated bibliographies provide added value for students and pastors in locating additional resources for the study of these texts."--BOOK JACKET.00aBible.pN.T.pHebrewsvCommentaries00aBible.pN.T.pHebrewsxSocio-rhetorical criticism00aBible.pN.T.pJamesvCommentaries00aBible.pN.T.pJamesxSocio-rhetorical criticism00aBible.pN.T.pJudevCommentaries00aBible.pN.T.pJudexSocio-rhetorical criticism  c8947d8947  00104070aMAINbMAINcGd2008-11-05eKoorongg34.95l1o227.87077/WITp08517r2015-03-20 00:00:00s2014-11-06v65.00w2008-11-05yAM
