K. Min Circular Rhetoric and Paradox in Biblical Studies In the
past, 1.The major work on circular rhetoric is viewed as Semitic
influence in repetitive or tautological expression (often treated
as useless or nonsensical) [Howard Semitisms in NT, 1929] 2.Only
serious and major scholarly works on Circular Rhetoric: the
reciprocal indwelling relationships in 1 John (be-in and dwell-in)
by Malatesta (1978), followed by Brown (1982). 3.Paradox: mostly
done in Philosophy or Theology except one recent and noteworthy
work on Mark by Santos (1995). (1) self-denial discipleship (Mark
8:34), (2) saving by losing ones life (Mark 8:35), and (3)
servant-leadership (Mark 9:35).
