Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, 353 pages, NOT ex-library. Gentle handling wear, short creases. Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A scholarly monograph that applies the tools of ancient Greek and Roman literary criticism to the New Testament's Letter of James. It argues that the author of James uses specific stylistic and rhetorical strategies - comparable to those used by contemporary "classicist" writers - to establish an authoritative "educational ethos". Core Thesis: - Language as Authority [the book's central premise is that in antiquity, language and character (ethos) were inseparable]. - Signalling Education [Jónsson argues that the author of James uses sophisticated vocabulary and style to implicitly signal their high level of education to the audience]; - The Author's Standpoint [by establishing himself as an educated "sage" and "teacher," the author can address the wealthy as social equals, allowing him to rebuke them and offer divine wisdom as a superior alternative to contemporary moral categories]; - Balance of Power [this "educational ethos" is used as a strategic tool to balance the social and economic disparity between the letter's author and the powerful, wealthy figures he addresses]. The book is structured into sections that examine the build-up of this authorial authority. Ethos through Speech: Chapter 2 examines how the author presents a "speech-in-character" to establish his moral standing. Stylistic Analysis: Chapters 3 and 4 evaluate the letter's style using criteria from ancient critics, such as purity of vocabulary, vividness, and conciseness. Jónsson argues that many features previously dismissed as "vulgar" actually align with classical standards. Explicit Roles: Chapter 5 looks at how the author explicitly places himself in the categories of sage, teacher, and exegete to further cement his authority. This is the first monograph to specifically compare a New Testament letter with the Critical Essays of the 1st-century BCE historian and critic Dionysius of Halicarnassus. By moving away from traditional historical questions about who "James" was, the book offers a "discursive turn" in Jacobean scholarship, focusing instead on how the text's literary profile itself creates its own authority.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The rise of early Christianity was accompanied by a period of impressive literary production.
