This investigation looks at Paul's argumentation with special attention paid to enthymemes. Enthymemes can be defined as a three part deductive argumentation with an unstated assumption. Enthymemes constitute an important part of Paul's argumentation which until now has been relatively unexploited. Pauline studies continues today to grapple with the question of the core of Paul's thought and the investigation of the apostle's social world is gaining interest among scholars. This study of the manner in which Paul constructs enthymemes gives us insight into his thought world and would be a valuable text for scholars and librarians.

mentioned in Chronicle of Higher Education May 2006 Reviewed in International Review of Biblical Studies, 2007. Reviewed by Kenneth G C, Theological Book Review, vol. 19 no. 2 2007 '[This] book repays careful study. The technical side is not unduly daunting, and the exegesis is usually illuminating and interesting across a range of intrinsically interesting issues and texts...The author admits that what he finds is already 'perceivable by any informed and careful reader', but perception is sharpened and informed by his methodology and its application. He makes a useful contribution to our understanding of each of the letters, and more.' John Dunnill, Expository Times -- John Dunnill, Expository Times * Expository Times *
