Description
Summary:	The article examines the textual strategy that Paul follows in 2 Corinthians 8 in order to involve the Corinthians in his ecumenical collection for the Christians in Jerusalem. In this regard the respective roles of the encoded author and readers within the intra-textual discourse, the statuses which they hold within this relationship, the religious integrity of the intended readers, the sequence and manner in which the subjectmatter is presented throughout the chapter and the prudent phraseology from the author's verbal repertoire are discussed.
