Twofold Shepherding: An Argumentative Analysis of 1 Peter 5:1-11
Keywords:
Argumentation analysis, propositions, rhetoric, pastoral, church leadershipAbstract
Biblical interpretation is an important theological task in the life of the church. After the golden era of the historical-critical approach, some approaches focused on the text in its final (literary) form. One of them is Argumentation Analysis, developed by Thomas R. Schreiner with a case study on Paul's letters. This approach traces the logical relationship between propositions in the text, which is then very effective for interpreting letters in the New Testament that are argumentative in nature. This time, the authors apply the approach to 1 Peter 5:1-11, which has never been applied before. The aim is to reveal Peter's argumentation structure and rhetorical strategy in delivering his pastoral advice. The result shows a two-layered pastoral exhortation that forms two major propositions that are related in series. Both are advice to the church leaders (elders) and the congregation (young people). This approach is also expected to enrich practical hermeneutical understanding for the contemporary church as it focuses on the text in its final form.
