Full description: |
The Catholic Epistles are a very enigmatic group of writings within the New Testament. Usually, they are not given much attention because they are regarded as a fruit of a rather marginal Judaeo-Christian theology. However, new research on these writings reveal that they are ingeniously crafted from the rhetorical aspect. The main aim of their rhetorical persuasion consists in persuading the readers to adopt a certain stance concerning the Pauline theology. What is this stance? With the use of what methods it is possible to achieve, by means of a literary text, a persuasive aim without disclosing it in an open way? These are only selected questions, the answers to which will be commonly looked for during the classes. |
