RT Book T1 Pauline persuasion: a sounding in 2 Corinthians 8-9 T2 Journal for the study of the New Testament / Supplement series JF Journal for the study of the New Testament / Supplement series A1 O'Mahony, Kieran J. LA English PP Sheffield PB Sheffield Academic Press YR 2000 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1615450971 AB This is a book about the use of classical rhetoric in reading Paul. It begins with a useful review of the various strategies, and, in the light of the issues that emerge, it describes a rhetorical method which is then tested on 2 Corinthians 8-9. Here, the advice of the classical rhetorical manuals for constructing a text is used-in reverse order-so as to uncover the persuasive strategy being used by Paul in this case. This technique leads to a quite new reading of the two chapters, which O'Mahony then proceeds to test against the standard work in the field by Hans Dieter Betz.
