The analysis of biblical rhetoric has been developed only in the last 250 years. The first half of this book outlines the history of the method known as rhetorical analysis in biblical studies, illustrated by numerous texts. The work of Lowth (who focused on 'parallelism'), Bengel (who drew attention to 'chiasmus'), Jebb and Boys (the method's real founders at the turn of the ninteenth century) and Lund (the chief exponent in the mid-twentieth century) are all discussed, as is the current full blooming of rhetorical analysis. The second half of the book is a systematic account of the method, testing it on Psalms 113 and 146, on the first two chapters of Amos, and many other texts, especially from Luke. Translated by Luc Racaut.

In this book Meynet offers an entirely new perspective on the study of the Synoptic Gospels, adding further insights within the growing body of modern research into the meanings of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Utilizing the rhetorical method of analysis, of which he is a leading proponent, Meynet studies the composition of the Gospels as they were written and makes it possible to understand them in systematic and until now unexpected ways. The author does not approach these Gospels on the basis of introductory questions, but instead combines critical analysis with the evangelists own persuasive intentions

The Gospel of Luke, with its refined Greek, offers us a gospel of decision, of crossroads, that speaks to our times. Known as A Gospel of Prayer Luke is the one of the four Gospels whose theme is sonship: the Sonship of Jesus, of course, but also ours. This third Gospel is the transition between Matthew and Mark and the spiritual Gospel of John, the Beloved Disciple, which is traditionally placed as the culmination of the evangelical revelation. An initial approach to the Gospel of Luke can give an impression of disorder, as if it were a compilation of disconnected fragments. Many commentators have taken note of this aspect. However, Roland Meynet disagrees, pointing out that it has been written in an orderly way. We cannot forget that the New Testament was born in the Jewish world and that it is deeply etched by the writing techniques appropriate to that time. Having worked for more than 30 years in biblical and Semitic rhetoric, Meynet shows us the admirable and extremely precise composition of the Gospel of Luke. His commentary proposes unexpected interpretations in contrast with traditional readings. Meynet offers a word by word, step by step reading based on the latest achievements of modern linguistics, giving an interpretation of the text that manifests all its originality and strength.

Chere a Luther, qui l'appelait sa petite fiancee , la Lettre aux Galates est, malgre sa brievete, un texte majeur, decisif pour la foi chretienne. Beaucoup sont d'avis que cette lettre a ete ecrite sous le coup de la passion. On a meme parle de rhetorique tellement enflammee qu'elle serait portee au rouge . Il ne conviendrait donc pas de chercher un ordre rigoureux dans cet ecrit de circonstance. D'autres ont pu retorquer au contraire qu'il ne s'agit tout de meme pas d'un e-mail! Depuis plus de cinquante ans la Lettre aux Galates est devenue le champ privilegie de l'application aux textes bibliques des regles de la rhetorique classique greco-latine. Certains pensent y reconnaitre un ecrit de genre judiciaire, d'autres de genre deliberatif, d'autres encore de genre demonstratif ; sans compter ceux qui penchent du cote de l'epistolographie antique. Le present commentaire part d'un autre presuppose. Bien que ne a Tarse, ou fleurissaient les ecoles de rhetorique, Paul etait juif avant tout, forme a Jerusalem ou il dit avoir grandi, aux pieds de Rabbi Gamaliel. Il est donc sans doute de meilleure methode de chercher a decouvrir la composition de ses lettres non pas a Athenes, mais dans ce qui faisait la substance de sa culture, la Bible, avec les lois specifiques qui la caracterisent. Ainsi, la these essentielle de la Lettre, la proposition , ne se trouve pas au debut de la lettre, comme le veut la rhetorique classique, mais en plein centre de la section centrale, comme cle de voute, et donc de lecture, de l'ensemble de l'ecrit. Paul suit en cela une des lois les plus fondamentales et les mieux etablies de la rhetorique biblique et semitique. L'interpretation de la Lettre, soutenue aussi par l'etude du contexte biblique, s'en trouve par consequent notablement renouvelee.
