Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: In this book the argumentation of the apostle Paul is analyzed against the background of classical rhetorical tradition. Although Paul explicitly rejects worldly wisdom and rhetoric, at many places in his letters he argues as a contemporary lawyer in the courtroom would do, or as a general who uses strategies to encourage his soldiers, or as a sophist who tries ‘to make the weaker argument defeat the stronger’. German description: Johan S. Vos stellt den Apostel Paulus als einen Meister in der ‘Kunst, recht zu behalten’, bzw. in der Kunst, die schwachere Rede zur starkeren zu machen dar. Das erste Kapitel des Bandes ist der ‘Kunst, recht zu behalten’ in der klassischen rhetorischen Tradition gewidmet. Insbesondere werden sophistische Rhetorik, Wahrheit und Parteiinteresse in der forensischen Rhetorik und Kriegsrhetorik sowie die antiken Kriterien zur Unterscheidung von redlicher und unredlicher Argumentation behandelt. Daraufhin untersucht der Autor anhand ausgewahlter Texte aus den Hauptbriefen des Paulus, inwieweit die argumentativen Mittel des Apostels im Rahmen der profanen Kunst, ‘recht zu behalten’, zu verstehen sind. Obwohl Paulus selbst weltliche Weisheit und Beredsamkeit ablehnt, kann man feststellen, dass er genau dieselben Mittel verwendet wie ein zeitgenossischer Anwalt vor Gericht. Auch benutzt er Strategien, die in den militarischen Handbuchern als ‘Kriegslisten’ bezeichnet werden, und nach antiken Kriterien gemessen, konnen manche seiner Argumente als ‘sophistisch’ bezeichnet werden. Funf Kapitel des Buches sind revidierte Fassungen schon fruher erschienener Studien von Johan S. Vos, zwei Kapitel werden hier zum ersten Mal veroffentlicht.
