Description
Rhetorical criticism and biblical performance criticism are natural partners in understanding communication of biblical texts. This collection of essays brings a diversity of scholars of the Hebrew Bible and New Testament together to orient graduate students and scholars interested in rhetorical and performance criticism to current methods and resources, including those offered by material remains, ritual, rhetorical handbooks, and ancient speeches and dramas. Each contribution immerses the reader into a cultural world rich with persuasion and performance.
