<\/a><\/p>\nO.K. all you buyers of socio-rhetorical commentaries who have been hounding me to produce an Introduction to the NT that is a companion volume to those commentaries and introduces the whole NT in that manner\u2026.. you need look no further. By the end of this month or sooner Oxford U. Press will be publishing my socio-rhetorical Intro to the whole NT. It is already up and available for pre-order on Amazon. Note to all ya\u2019ll\u2013 because this is going to be a textbook for college and entry level seminary students, do not expect a Kindle edition. It doesn\u2019t work that way, at least with Oxford. But there are lots of wonderful color pics in this Intro, maps, charts, anecdotes from the first century world, you name. It\u2019s one stop shopping for all things socio-rhetorical. Have at it\u2026. and let me know what you think !! BW3 <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
