<x-flowed>Carl, KTL,
As a beginning Ph.D. in New Testament, have ye a suggested resource
on Discourse Analysis as we are discussing it here? (book, web
resource, personal notes).
I'm doing a seminar on Classical Rhetoric with Richard Enos in the
Fall, and would value this background as I begin.
Thanks,
Joe
