- W2497615119 abstract "Although it would be an exaggeration to speak of a consensus, a majority of scholars now sees Paul as a man of relatively high social status. Most often cited as evidence for such status is Paul’s putative education in formal rhetorical theory. The prevailing logic consists of two propositions: First, Paul’s letters can be analyzed according to the dictates of GrecoRoman rhetoric; therefore, Paul must have been well educated in rhetoric. Second, rhetorical education was available only among the wealthy elite; therefore, Paul must have been brought up in such circles. A number of scholars have observed that such argumentation fails to consider the extent to which rhetorical ability exists independently of formal education. But despite this general observation, there has been no attempt to determine whether the specific rhetorical competencies to which Paul’s letters attest admit of informal acquisition. In this study, I use insights from comparative rhetoric and sociolinguistics to get methodological leverage on this problem and thus to reevaluate the evidence for Paul’s rhetorical education. Using 2 Cor 10–13 as a test case, I demonstrate that Paul’s use of rhetoric provides no evidence of formal education; on the contrary, his persuasive strategies are instances of informal rhetoric. After undertaking a history of scholarship in part 1, in part 2 I reassess recent claims of Paul’s conformity with formal rhetorical conventions in 2 Cor 10–13. Here I demonstrate" @default.
