Opis

This book examines why Paul waits until the end of his letter to the Corinthians before mentioning the important theme of resurrection.

Recenzje

'… I applaud Malcolm's approach of looking at the rhetorical structure more broadly (while also affirming the value of formal rhetorical analysis at the microlevel) … I recommend this book as a balanced and well-researched read for someone trying to understand the argumentative flow of 1 Corinthians.' Trent A. Rogers, Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society
