Description

The volume contains contributions by many of the major discourse analysts of the New Testament, including E.A. Nida, W. Schenk, J.P. Louw and J. Callow. Some of these essays deal with methodology, raising necessary questions about what it means to analyse discourse. Others demonstrate an already committed approach by reading specific texts. A 'state-of-the-art' volume for all scholars interested in this increasingly important area of New Testament research.

Reviews

"Written by established scholars in the field of discourse analysis, it is an excellent introduction to this emerging exegetical discipline." -Ashland Theological Journal, 04
