The Rhetorical Argument Structure
of 1 Corinthians 15 by Robert S. Reid
Paul speaks to a
Greek speaking audience who would have expected his literary text to be
structured according to the rules of rhetoric in the first century. And
this is exactly what we find in The Rhetorical Argument Structure of
1 Corinthians 15.
The author illuminates Paul's coherent argument to the Corinthians in
five-parts.
The
Proposition: what is
to be proved is summarily set forth.
The Reason: by means of a brief explanation, sets
forth the causal basis for the proposition, establishing the truth
of what is argued.
The Proof of
the Reason:
corroborates, by means of additional arguments, the briefly
presented Reason.
The
Embellishment: adorns
and enriches the argument, after the proof has been established.
The Résumé: a brief conclusion, drawing together
the parts of the argument.

Preaching Mark by Robert S. Reid
Far from the
scissor and paste notion of modern biblical criticism, Preaching
Mark argues for Mark's master craftsmanship of rhetorical
form by employing literate compositional art. The book
documents the chiastic structure for the entire Gospel of Mark,
divided into nineteen narrative complexes.
