{"product_id":"enemies-of-the-cross-of-demetrius-williams-9780826460523","title":"Enemies of the Cross of Christ","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Enemies of the Cross' employs classical rhetorical analysis to examine how Paul structures a deliberative argument using his understanding of the 'cross of Christ'. His goals are to guide\/advise the Philippian community through internal and external strife (ch. 2), combat his opponents (ch.3), and develop his notion of the eschatological community (3:18-21). Williams proposes that while Paul has a 'theology of the death of Jesus', of which cross terminology is one of several aspects, this terminology is used almost exclusively in polemical\/conflictual contexts. Hence Paul appears to be using 'cross of Christ' not so much as a doctrine but rather as a rhetorical tool, in a context of conflict and strife, to support his understanding of eschatology, apostolic service, the nature of Christian existence, and community among the saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Demetrius Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826460526\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826460523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sheffield Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 5.90w x 0.86d","brand":"Demetrius Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44449944174847,"sku":"9780826460523","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9a5bcfe-23b4-4d7f-b2a5-ad4d2ce2db35.jpg?v=1698501886","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enemies-of-the-cross-of-demetrius-williams-9780826460523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
