Críticas:

"This is an outstanding book, since it combines basic syllabus material with advanced philological and exegetical scholarship. Its author displays a profound knowledge both of Early Christianity and of the Hellenistic-Roman world. A special asset consists of the numerous little-known examples of ancient letters which are presented in a most convenient and easily accessible way in this rich book." -- Samuel Vollenweider, University of Zurich, Switzerland "This splendid book is vintage Klauck. He offers a close reading of a wide range of ancient letters as well as brief discussion of ancient epistolary theory and of rhetoric. He strikes just the right balance between basic instruction and original insight." -- Abraham J Malherbe, Buckingham Professor Emeritus of New Testament Criticism and Interpretation, Yale Divinity School Ancient Letters and the New Testament is a remarkable achievement and extremely informative. Klauck's grasp of the primary texts and command of the subject matter can hardly be overstated. He has provided readers with an immensely useful textbook with hermeneutical and exegetical implications. -- Alan S. Bandy, Louisiana College -- Bulletin for Biblical Research

Reseña del editor:

This volume places the New Testament letters squarely in the middle of all the important letter corpora of antiquity. Chapters cover the basic letter formula, papyrus and postal delivery, non-literary and diplomatic correspondence, Greek and Latin literary letters, epistolary theory, letters in early Judaism, and all the letters of the New Testament. Part I of each chapter surveys each corpus, followed by detailed exegetical examples in Part II. Comprehensive bibliographies and 54 exercises with answers suit this guide to student and scholar alike.
