Summary:Biblical rhetorical critics find themselves incarcerated within what can be called the supplementary tradition of rhetoric. As such, biblical rhetorical criticism has not yet liberated itself from its foundationalist or objectivist moorings.

From the perspective of the rhetoric of enquiry, certain conditions are specified for the formulation of interpretive strategies.
