DESCRIPTION:
They provide instruction for community leaders, both the individual addressees and other leaders whom they will appoint. The reader will find here a solid introduction to parallel literary forms in Latin and Greek literature and particular descriptions of the way in which these documents use ancient rhetorical forms to achieve their paraenetic and hortatory purpose. Drawing on his parish experience as well as his academic training, Fiore also provides reflections on the contemporary pastoral application of these books, giving readers a renewed appreciation for the "pastoral" label these epistles bear.Benjamin Fiore, SJ, is president and professor of religious studies at Campion College at the University of Regina (Canada).".
