| Summary: | James D. Miller (138) contends that the Epistle of Titus has "no driving concern, no consistent focus of interest" and appears "like an anthology of traditions, many arranged mechanically together by topic, some simply juxtaposed." The purpose of this study is to ascertain to what extent the Epistle of Titus demonstrates some concise strategy or logical ordering to the materials presented. It is assumed that writers have some overarching purpose in mind in order to decide what should be included or excluded in a manuscript to achieve the intended objective. Thus, this analysis is concerned with the text as text rather than any literary, historical, or other method of interpretation. This analysis suggests that the Epistle of Titus is organized in the same six-phase-sequence that is found in thousands of case studies of "revitalization movements" around the world. |
