Description

Book Synopsis
Investigates how the author of the Pastoral Epistles (1, 2 Timothy and Titus) strategically appealed to the Greek and Roman virtues of piety (eusebeia, pietas) to ease external and internal sociocultural threats.

Trade Review
Scholarly attention to the rhetorical strategies of the New Testament writers has been one of the happy outcomes of the last thirty years or so of biblical research. Civilized Piety makes an outstanding contribution to this enterprise, even more so given the relative paucity of such treatments with respect to the Pastorals. -- Mark Harding -- Review of Biblical Literature
"Exceptional and elegantly argued." -- Baylor University Press
