Vernon K. Robbins has changed the face of New Testament studies through his commitment to exploring the interface of several disciplines. His Exploring the Texture of Texts introduces students to the ways that society and rhetoric form part of the fabric out of which literary texts are woven, and he began the Emory Studies in Early Christianity Series as a way of disseminating works using this method. His Jesus the Teacher remains a classic work in rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. Finally, he has been instrumental in gathering the rhetorical forms of the ancient world into a large database that will aid both New Testament and classical studies. David B. Gowler is Associate Professor and Pierce Professor of Religion at Emory University and Associate Editor of the Emory Studies in Early Christianity. L. Gregory Bloomquist is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Theology at St. Paul Univeristy. Duane F. Watson is Professor of New Testament Studies at Malone College in Canton, Ohio.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Vernon Robbins has led the way among scholars interested in a new, more comprehensive manner of interpreting the Scriptures. He has designated this approach, socio-rhetorical. These essays in his honor provide an excellent introduction to his new expansive methodologies. Recently published commentaries are already reflecting the outcomes of Robbin's ground breaking proposals."--Thomas H. Olbricht, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Religion, Pepperdine University (Thomas H. Olbricht, )
"The articles in the present volume constitute a solid scholarly celebration of Vernon Robbins. By applying the insights of socio-rhetorical interpretation to the study of various subjects and texts, they illustrate in a splendid fashion the profound influence and exciting potentials of Robbins' work. Anyone interested in the social and rhetorical dynamics of texts will discover how scholars thoroughly familiar with Robbins' mode of analysis respectfully and yet creatively make use of his insights and thus confirm the integration of various interpretative strategies into socio-rhetorical interpretation".--Samuel Byrskog, Professor of New Testament Cochair with Vernon Robbins at the International Seminar on Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation, Studiorum Novi Testamenti Societas, 1999-2003.
