Words Well Spoken: George Kennedy's Rhetoric of the New Testament in Bloomington, MN

It has been more than two decades since the publication of George Kennedy's influential
New Testament Interpretation Through Rhetorical Criticism
(1984). The essays in
Words Well Spoken
demonstrate the influence of Kennedy's work on New Testament studies. The essays offer applications of his method to canonical New Testament books and provide more general discussions of rhetorical analysis. Kennedy's thoughtful response articulates his present thinking about the New Testament and demonstrates why this scholar continues to be of such value to New Testament studies.
