Skeptical of the trend among many biblical scholars to analyze Paul's short, affectionate letter to the Philippians in light of Greco-Roman letter-writing conventions, Ben Witherington instead looks at Philippians as a masterful piece of long-distance oratory--an extension of Paul's speech, dictated to a scribe and meant to be read aloud to its recipients.
In Paul's letter to the Philippians: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary Witherington examines Paul's short but powerful letter in light of Greco-Roman rhetorical conventions, identifying Paul's purpose, highlighting his main points and his persuasive strategies, and considering how his original audience would have heard and received Paul's message.
