Contents:
Structuring Hebrews : modern approaches to an ancient text -- Part 1. Laying the foundation : syncrisis in Hebrews -- Comparing covenants : the syncritical backbone of Hebrews -- Choosing the advantageous : deliberative syncrisis & epideictic syncrisis in Hebrews -- Part 2. Arranging the speech : the ancient rhetorical design of Hebrews -- Arranging an ancient speech : ancient compositional theory and a proposal for modern analysis -- Proving the case : argumentatio in Hebrews -- Presenting the facts relevant to the case : narratio in Hebrews -- Beginning with favor : exordium in Hebrews -- Ending with recapitulation and emotion : peroratio in Hebrews -- Putting it all together : the rhetorical arrangement and aim of Hebrews -- Examining implications : early Christian sermons and apostasy in Hebrews.
Summary: Inventing Hebrews examines a perennial topic in the study of the Letter to the Hebrews, its structure and purpose. Michael Martin and Jason Whitlark undertake a thorough synthesis of the ancient theory of invention and arrangement, providing a new account of Hebrews's design. The key to the speech's outline, the authors argue, is in its use of "disjointed" arrangement, a template ubiquitous in antiquity but little discussed in modern biblical studies.
