in the Word</em> explains how the recognition of the oral and socio-rhetorical character of the New Testament and its environment necessitates a change in how the New Testament literature is read. Expanding on the work in which he has been fruitfully engaged for over a quarter century, Witherington challenges the previously assured results of historical criticism and demonstrates chapter by chapter how the socio-rhetorical study shifts the paradigm.</p><p>Taken together, the chapters in <em>What's in the Word</em> coalesce around three of Witherington's ongoing academic concerns: orality and rhetoric; New Testament history, including issues of authenticity and canonicity; and the exegesis of given words in their canonical and socio-cultural contexts. Always unpredictable, this book never fails to pique interest and proffer instruction.</p> </div> </div> <div id="tab-2" class="tabs__panel tabs__panel--content" style="display: none"> <div class="tabs__content"> <P><B>Invitation to the Dance</B></P><P><B>Chapter One</B>: Oral Examination: How Did 'Oral' Texts Function in a Rhetorical Culture?</P><P><B>Chapter Two</B>: Canonical Pseudepigrapha--Is It an Oxymoron?</P><P><B>Chapter Three</B>: Rethinking and Redescribing Scribal Culture</P><P><B>Chapter Fou</B>r: The Question of Sermons and Homilies in the New Testament</P><P><B>Chapter Five</B>: Rom. 7.7-25- Retelling Adam's Tale</P><P><B>Chapter Six</B>: What's in a Name?
