Summary:

Explore insights, methodologies, and advances in socio-rhetorical interpretation Essays in this volume from Vernon K. Robbins merge social and rhetorical strategies of interpretation and set the stage for how socio-rhetorical interpretation has developed in the context of research into the rhetoric of religious antiquity. This book contains "By Land and By Sea: The We Passages and Ancient Sea Voyages" (1978), which initially received widespread praise and then became an object of significant criticism. The volume includes Robbins's varied, detailed responses to both encouragement and critique of his approach. Features: Introduction to the collection by David B. Gowler Twelve essays that programmatically study early Christian texts using resources from the social sciences Reflections on the future of socio-rhetorical criticism
