I am now approaching the end of my Ph.D. research into Paul's use of his apostleship in terms of whether he operates by using power and/or authority, and what the implications of this might be. One of my main methods for analysing this is rhetorical criticism, and I am currently wanting to investigate the possibility that Paul is using an 'ethos' kind of argument style to make his point. Although I am aware that Kennedy looks at ethos in his 'Rhetoric in the New Testament' work, I am unaware of any particularly detailed work that specifically tries to look at Paul using 'ethos' in his letters. I have come across one or two brief references to such an idea, but the best treatment I have found so far is Lauri Thuren's in his 'Dehetorizing Paul'.

If you could make any suggestions as to articles or whole works that might be helpful to this end (preferrably specifically related to Paul's letters, though I would also be interested in more general NT Rhetoric work) I would be very grateful.
