| Resumo: | Pauline studies have, not surprisingly, largely concentrated on Paul as letter writer and on the impact of his rhetoric on his communities.

Employing performance criticism informed by ancient writings on rhetoric and persuasion, one discerns a portrait of Paul’s couriers as individuals whose passionate and adaptable performances of Paul’s messages to his churches were instrumental in Paul’s success or failure as letter writer. |
