An important study of Paul's rhetoric in the context of Graeco-Roman literary culture. Praised by Daniel Boyarim, Karen King, and other prominent NT scholars.
Timothy Luckritz Marquis is an Associate Professor of New Testament at Moravian Theological Seminary with a deep knowledge of Graeco-Roman religion and culture. He makes a compelling advance in Pauline studies by elucidating the rhetorical complexity of Paul's self-presentation in 2 Corinthians as an itinerant preacher, who is conflicted by his cosmopolitan yet marginalized persona.
