Rhetorical and Socio-Rhetorical Reading of New Testament Texts. Part II: Socio-Rhetoric: the Project of the Holistic reading of Text

Summary/Abstract: In the second part of the article on the rhetorical and socio-rhetorical readingof New Testament texts, the author focuses on the socio-rhetorical approach. It ispresented as a remedy to the fragmentary character of the sociological and anthropologicalstudies on the Bible. The stress on the close reading of the text inherent in thesocio-rhetoric gives both sociology and anthropology the anchorage they need not tostray from the main object of their inquiry. The author with broad strokes depicts thedevelopment and main concepts of the socio-rhetorical methodology. Then, he explainsthe six stages postulated by the method: the analysis of inner texture, intertexture, socialand cultural texture, ideological texture, sacred texture, and the so called rhetorolects.The article finishes with concise conclusions on the advantages of using the socio-rhetoricin comparison to the deficient historical-critical methodology.
