Wilhelm Wuellner is the father of rhetorical criticism of the New Testament, and his work has focused on the ever-present relationship between hermeneutics and rhetorics. Together these essays provide not only a fitting tribute to the continuing influence of Wuellner and his work but also original studies of various New Testament texts read through the eyes of rhetorical criticism. Wuellner's work also has had a tremendous impact outside the field of New Testament studies, and this volume reflects his influence on the classical rhetoric.
