Welcoming the Nations

This volume celebrates and reflects upon sociorhetorical interpretation of the New Testament as developed by Vernon K. Robbins in The Tapestry of Early Christian Discourse (Routledge) and Exploring the Texture of Texts (Continuum), both published in 1996. Scholars from around the world take sociorhetorical interpretation into new arenas to approach issues arising from their own contexts, including the environment, gender, and economics.
