Arguing with Scripture The rhetoric of quotations in the Letters of Paul
Christopher D. Stanley
- U.S.A T & T Clark International 2004
- 196tr. Paperback 23cm
Christopher Stanley has provided an insightful analysis of Paul’s enigmatic use of Scripture. Why did Paul seldom explicity quote the Old Testament? Why did he use Scripture infrequently to support his deeper theological arguments? Standley finds the answers to these and other questions in Paul’s sensitivity to his rhetorical situations and the argumentation that he tailored for each. Stanley merges the study of Paul’s use of Scripture and rhetorical analysis to create a helpful, custom-made tool for interpreting the Pauline Epistles.
