Reviews

It is clear that the writers of these essays have not only learned from George Kennedy a great deal about classical rhetoric but have also been inspired by his example of bold intellectual inquiry to cross boundaries among disciplines that have existed for centuries. This cross-disciplinary approach has opened up new and productive avenues of research that extend to many aspects of New Testament criticism. Anyone interested in rhetoric, New Testament studies or perhaps especially in anecdotal narrative of how each of these players got involved in the rhetorical study of the New Testament will enjoy this book....Go get this book, pull up a chair, and get ready for good remembrances and challenging gestures for yet new paths of discovery on the path ahead in rhetorical study. In this book nine American scholars assess Kennedy's unrivalled works. They identify their innovative features, and demonstrate their impact on subsequent research, singling out the particular aspects with regard to which they were indebted to Kennedy.
