Galatians and the Rhetoric of Crisis: Demosthenes, Cicero, Paul

My 2016 monograph, Galatians and the Rhetoric of Crisis: Demosthenes, Cicero and Paul (Polebridge Press), probes techniques of persuasion around four general themes (urgency, promotion of self, emotive language, and disjuncture) and compares those themes across the Philippic speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero and Paul’s Letter to the Galatians.  Against conventional Pauline scholarship, I demonstrate a broad use of rhetorical techniques in the NT letter of Galatians.
