Evidence that has been largely overlooked in NT scholarship appears in \u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e by Xenophon of Ephesus and suggests that the topic be revisited. Recently dated to the mid-first century C.E., \u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e brings to life what is known from ancient sources about the social setting and cultural rules of the wealthy in Ephesus and provides details that enhance our knowledge of life and society in that place and time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this volume, Hoag introduces \u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e and employs a socio-rhetorical methodology to explore it alongside other ancient evidence and five passages in 1 Timothy (2:9–15; 3:1–13; 6:1–2a; 6:2b–10; and 6:17–19). His findings augment our modern conception of the Sitz im Leben of the wealthy in Ephesus. Additionally, because \u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e contains some rare terms and themes that are found in 1 Timothy, this groundbreaking research offers fresh insight for biblical reading and interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Reading the Teachings on Riches in 1 Timothy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eView 1: Consistent with New Testament Teachings on Riches \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eView 2: Inconsistent with Other New Testament Teachings on Riches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eView 3: Alternating in Relationship to Other New Testament Teachings on Riches \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScope and Aim of the Book\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e by Xenophon of Ephesus and Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEphesiaca\u003c\/i\u003e by Xenophon of Ephesus \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocio-Rhetorical Interpretation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2.
