He uses his own example to ground and illustrate his argumentation in a rhetorically sophisticated manner, often structuring his argument on such a basis. In places a crisp statement of his own case serves as a thesis statement of the argument that follows (e.g., Rom. 1.17; Gal. 1.10), while at other times it serves to summarize the argument and to provide a transition to the next phase (especially in 1 Corinthians and Gal. 2.15-21). All the while Paul's self-portrayals in his letters serve not autobiographical or egoistic purposes but pedagogical and argumentative aims.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45085680140439,"sku":"9781850759140","price":22805.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781850759140.webp?v=1767265296","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pauls-paradigmatic-i-9781850759140","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
