| Summary: | This collection of nine essays originated from papers given at a conference in Canada in 2000. The theme is rhetoric; the aim is to explore beyond its formal and theoretical aspects. The term preferred by Braun is ‘rhetoricality’, which is defined by contrast with ‘a restricted canon of logographic techniques of argumentation’. ‘Early Christianities’ turns out to include material stretching into the sixth century. Even so, the chapter by Kitchen on sixth-century hagiography and the rhetoric of slavery/freedom is isolated like a germ in this collection, which does not otherwise range beyond the fourth century (except in the broadest terms in the cases of Braun and Kile). |
