Hietanen, Mika LU orcid (2021) In Publications of the Finnish Exegetical Society 123. p.252-279
Abstract
Blame (vituperation) is a rhetorical practice well-known in classical Rhetoric, and to orators of the first century C.E. Following an overview of vituperation in classical handbooks, the study presents on overview of vituperation in select New Testament texts, including a gospel and letters of Paul. Similarities with President Donald Trump's rhetoric are noted and both ancient and contemporary use of blame is discussed from the perspective or rhetoric and responsible language use. Based on the analyses, a new resource-list for vituperation is presented.
