Description
Summary:This article aims to show that the best criterion to use in accounting for the developments in Stephen's speech in Acts 7 is the rhetorical structurerequired in classical Antiquity for all speeches. After a brief exordium(v. 2a), the narratio (v. 2b-34) and the argumentatio (v. 36-50), connected bya short transition (v. 35), form the body of the speech, which ends with ashort peroratio (v. 51-53). The article also stresses the schematic funtion ofthe quotation from Genesis 15,13f in v. 6-7: the prediction in v. 6 introducesthe stories related in v. 9-22; the first part of v. 7 refers to the major developmentin v. 23-43, and the end of v. 7 sets the scene for the last sectionconcerning the temple in 44-50.
