Description
Summary:This article seeks a fresh assessment of Paul's pompa triumphalis imagery at 2 Cor. 2.14-16a by probing a number of neglected aspects of both lexical and cultural background. Included are (1) an analysis of the use of thriambeuō in the Greco-Roman literature, with special attention given to claims made concerning the word's use with direct objects; (2) a lexicology of osmē and euōdia in literatures of the period; and (3) a probing of the language of ‘salvation' in the passage, with attention given to a feature of the triumphal procession parades that has until now failed to garner attention in investigations of the passage.
