| Summary: | This response to Armin Baum argues that he has asked an important question about the stylistic variation in Paul and Cicero but that his analysis lacks adequate statistical rigor. Cicero's writing certainly reveals a range of styles, depending on genre, chronology, and communicative recipients. However, it is not straightforward to compare Cicero with Paul because of the narrower range of genre and shorter timespan for Paul, and also the differing methodologies for stylistic analysis in the existing literature. Baum's analysis of the Pauline material does not adequately handle statistical significance, dependent variables, the effects of lumping, or more-recent advances in multivariate analysis. |
