Literary and Rhetorical Commentaries on the New Testament (30 vols.)
Digital Logos Edition
It is helpful to view the text of Scripture from multiple angles, and different commentators and commentary series work to provide them. The literary angle is important; the theological angle is, too. But a certain strain of biblical commentator in recent decades, exemplified by Ben Witherington, has worked to explain a specific historical angle, a “socio-rhetorical” one, in Witherington’s words.
What insight does our knowledge of the ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman worlds, and specifically their culture and customs and their use of rhetorical tools, provide into the Gospels, into the letters of Paul, into the general epistles? Witherington’s Socio-Rhetorical Commentary Series, his Letters and Homilies for Hellenized Christians, and the Smith & Helwys Reading the New Testament Commentary all work to draw truth from the NT by viewing it from this particular historical angle.
