Book Synopsis Pseudepigraphy and Ethical Argument in the Pastoral Epistles by : Lewis R. Donelson
Book excerpt: "[The author believes] ... the Pastorals are pseudepigraphical letters, wrtten under the name of Paul by someone who wanted to convince his readers that Paul had written the letters. In so doing the author availed himself of the common Greco-Roman literary device of Pseudonymity. In assuming this state of affairs, it is incumbent upon us to ascertain what the pseudepigraphical letter is and what the procedure tells us about the intentions of the author"--Chapter 1
