5 out of 5 stars Best Single Volume New Testament Scholarly Reference Work   October 22, 2008
Exegetical Nonsense (Indiana)
David Aune's Westminster Dictionary of the New Testament and Early Christian Literature and Rhetoric is a fantastic scholarly reference work. Astoundingly it is almost exclusively the work of one man (all but 21 articles). David Aune, who is a professor at the University of Notre Dame, covers literary and rhetorical topics pertinent to NT and Early Christian interpretation, amply treating both primary sources and secondary sources. You will find numerous articles related to composition, literary materials, and ancient rhetoric. For example, there are articles titled: allusions, chreia, dictation, enthymeme, form criticism, midrash, preface, rewritten bible, and many more. For scholars working in the field of New Testament or Early Christian Literature, this may be the most handy single volume reference which exists.
