I don't have time at the moment to give you much bibliography; but there is
an enormous amount available. A good start for getting at bibliography and
issues can be made with R. Dean Anderson, Ancient Rhetorical Theory and
Paul, (Pharos) Peeters, 1996; Duane Watson, "Rhetorical Criticism of the
Pauline Epistles Since 1975," in Currents in Research 3 (1995) 219-48.
