ZIMMERMANN, Ruben, Jan G. van der WATT, Susanne LUTHER (Hrsg.),

Moral Language in the New Testament. The Interrelatedness of Language and Ethics in Early Christian Writings. Kontexte und Normen neutestamentlicher Ethik / Contexts and Norms of New Testament Ethics. Volume II. 1. Aufl. Mohr Siebeck, 2010.

IX, 448 S. Fadenbindung. (Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen zum Neuen Testament 2. Reihe). ISBN 9783161503542.

The authors of this volume focus on the interrelatedness of morality and language. Apart from explicit ethical statements, implicit NT moral language is analysed in three overlapping aspects based on the interpretation of concrete NT texts: an intratextual level (linguistic and analytic philosophical methods: syntactical form, style and logic), an textual and intertextual level (form criticism, discourse analysis) and an extratextual level (speech act analysis; rhetoric; reader-response criticism).
