Chapter 1 introduces the linguistic theory of discourse analysis, defining key terms, sketching its historical evolution and outlining its major tenets. Chapter 2 sets forth a model of discourse analysis primarily based on the systemic functional theories of M.A.K. Halliday. Chapter 3 outlines the historical-critical debate over the literary integrity of Philippians. Chapter 4 inspects the genre of Philippians, challenging rhetorical approaches to the text and proposing instead an epistolary classification, viz. 'personal, hortatory letter'. Chapter 5 focuses on the discourse structure of the letter, investigating its use of ideational, interpersonal and textual functions of Hellenistic Greek. In chapter 6, relevant issues of biblical hermeneutics are addressed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45081977880727,"sku":"9781850756385","price":21595.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781850756385.webp?v=1767262926","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-discourse-analysis-of-philippians-9781850756385","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
