Persuasion in 1 Corinthians 1
In this article, 1 Corinthians 1:1 9 is analysed from a perspective that differs from the typical approach of researchers, who tend to force ancient rhetorical categories on the letter.

This approach is briefly summarised, followed by a description of the rhetorical situation of the letter and a systematic analysis of these nine verses. It will be argued that these …
A Rhetorical analysis of Philippians 1
A new trend in rhetorical analysis is to reconstruct Paul’ s rhetorical strategy from the text itself, rather than applying ancient or modern rhetorical models to his letters.

Spiritual problems, especially int…

The ‘remaining’ figures are dealt with in chapter 22 under the heading: Figures of…
