Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, 353 pages, NOT ex-library. Gentle handling wear, short creases. Interior is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- A scholarly monograph that applies the tools of ancient Greek and Roman… literary criticism to the New Testament's Letter of James. It argues that the author of James uses specific stylistic and rhetorical strategies - comparable to those used by contemporary "classicist" writers - to establish an authoritative "educational ethos". Core Thesis: - Language as Authority [the book's central premise is that in antiquity, language and character (ethos) were inseparable]. - Signalling Education [Jónsson argues that the author of James uses sophisticated vocabulary and style to implicitly signal their high level of education to the audience]; - The Author's Standpoint [by establishing himself as an educated "sage" and "teacher," the author can address the wealthy as social equals, allowing him to rebuke them and offer divine wisdom as a superior alternative to contemporary moral categories]; - Balance of Power [this "educational ethos" is used as a strategic tool to balance the social and economic disparity between the letter's author and the powerful, wealthy figures he addresses]. The book is structured into sections that examine the build-up of this authorial authority. Ethos through Speech: Chapter 2 examines how the author presents a "speech-in-character" to establish his moral standing. Stylistic Analysis: Chapters 3 and 4 evaluate the letter's style using criteria from ancient critics, such as purity of vocabulary, vividness, and conciseness. Jónsson argues that many features previously dismissed as "vulgar" actually align with classical standards. Explicit Roles: Chapter 5 looks at how the author explicitly places himself in the categories of sage, teacher, and exegete to further cement his authority. This is the first monograph to specifically compare a New Testament letter with the Critical Essays of the 1st-century BCE historian and critic Dionysius of Halicarnassus. By moving away from traditional historical questions about who "James" was, the book offers a "discursive turn" in Jacobean scholarship, focusing instead on how the text's literary profile itself creates its own authority.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. This book gives attention to the language and style of the letter of James, with a hypothesis about its rhetorical purpose in mind. It focuses on what we can learn about the author of James, by reading the text in light of a guiding research question: How does the author establish and assert a…uthority? The letter builds literary authority for a number of purposes, one of which is to address socioeconomic disparity, a major concern for the author. The author of James presents a speech-in-character in the shape of a letter to establish his ethos (Ch. 2), employing vocabulary and style to signal his education implicitly (Ch. 3 & 4) and includes himself in the categories of sage, teacher and exegete explicitly (Ch. 5). From this standpoint, the author can address the rich as equals, rebuke them and admonish both rich and poor to receive Gods wisdom (Ch. 6).The comparison with ancient literary criticism shows that the categories at play are the same. The insight that language and ethos are inseparable categories in antiquity provides us with renewed ways to interpret the literary production of early Christianity. Both James and the Classicists present a competing epic in the context of the early imperium, the former with an Israelite piety that is superior to contemporary economic and moral categories and the latter with the supremacy of Greek culture as a foundation for Rome. The letter of James emerges as a document that builds educational ethos as a balance against the rich and powerful, a strategy that calls for a revision of both its rhetoric and socio-economic situation.
