Sea Voyages and Beyond - Emerging Strategies in Socio-rhetorical Interpretation

Essays in this volume from Vernon K. Robbins merge social and rhetorical strategies of interpretation and set the stage for socio-rhetorical interpretation as it is currently practiced in the context of research in the SBL’s Rhetoric of Religious Antiquity program unit. The book contains Robbins's 1978 version of his essay on the we-passages in the Acts of the Apostles as sea voyages, which initially received widespread praise and then became an object of significant criticism. Robbins presents a detailed response to the positive uses and negative criticisms of his approach.
