| Summary: | In this paper it is argued that stylistic analyses and studies of New Testament documents have for the greater part of this century, been inadequate and very limited. The different approaches to New Testament style and the sources of stylistic information available to researchers are indicated, and their limitations pointed out. The question of possible solutions to this problem is subsequently raised, and a few suggestions are made regarding a possible redefinition of style in terms of more modern approaches to language and the implications of this for future New Testament style studies are pointed out. |
