Description

This closely argued and thoughtful book offers a fresh and nuanced understanding of the function of the suffering theme in Philippians.

A comprehensive survey of previous readings of Philippians is followed by a clear outline of the principles and practice of rhetorical criticism with particular reference to the study of letter-structure.

The book concludes by considering in detail the shape and function of the theme of suffering in each of the rhetorical sections of the letter as identified by the author.
