While most books on biblical rhetoric focus primarily on the epistles,

this volume from prominent scholar C. Clifton Black considers the variety of

rhetorical critical approaches now being applied to the Gospels (including

LukeaEURO Acts). This updated edition takes into account recent research since the

first volume was published in 2001 and features two brand new chapters. Black

provides an overview of the different forms of rhetorical criticism, with examples

from the Gospel of John; studies of characterization in Matthew and Luke; an

analysis of classical rhetorical criteria found in Mark and LukeaEURO Acts; and an

analysis of the rhetoric of the parables with implications for contemporary

preaching.
