The Corinthian Correspondence: Redaction, Rhetoric, and History - Paperback

by Frank W. Hughes (Author), Robert Jewett (Author)

In this book, Frank W. Hughes and Robert Jewett argue that the Apostle Paul wrote eight letters to the church in Corinth, and that those letters were edited and reshaped into 1 and 2 Corinthians. This analysis, using redaction and rhetorical criticism, provides many insights into Paul's difficult relationship with the Corinthians.
