This commentary offers the reader a set of letters (or letter parts) written by Cicero, Paul, and Seneca, which have been selected against the Transformational Leadership categories of ‘idealised influence’, ‘inspirational motivation’, ‘intellectual stimulation’, and ‘individualised consideration’. Chapter 1 offers introduction into authors and theory: all three letter writers are considered as ancient leadership figures composing leadership letters. The letters selected are presented in original text facing a translation (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 provides analysis and discussion of each letter, and aims to introduce the reader to the historical and literary contexts before reading the letter through the lenses of Transformational Leadership theory. Chapter 4 sums up the findings on each letter and each letter writer in light of Transformational Leadership and its categories. The volume is aimed at all those who are studying the function of ancient letter-writing – especially the letters of Cicero, Paul, or Seneca.

The rise of early Christianity was accompanied by a period of impressive literary production. Early Christian authors combined literary forms from Greco-Roman writings with the style and content of Hellenistic Jewish literature to create a tertium quid. Their literary works are therefore comparable to both Jewish and Greco-Roman contemporary writings, but they adopt, modify and transform literary conventions according to their needs and interests to communicate their message showing signs of literary innovation and creativity. This volume shows the innovative aspect of early Christian literature, by integrating adjacent fields of research as ancient history, classical studies, Jewish studies, patristics and religious studies. The analyses explore how and why early Christian literature unexpectedly established itself as a literary force in the early imperium.

Style can be considered as the way or technique in which an author communicates a message. Style concerns the way a text presents itself, or the form and shape of a text as different from its content, even though style also, in various ways, is inseparable from content. The style of a text concerns the way a text presents itself through sounds, visual impression, words, sentences, figures, and content, thereby creating a unique voice, tone, feeling, and atmosphere of the text. Style could also be considered as the how of a text as different from its what. “What” concerns the content of a text; “how” concerns the style, way, or technique in which the text presents itself. If an author chooses to delete all elements of style in order that the text has no style, it nonetheless is a stylistic choice which effects the meaning of the text. Even a shopping list exhibits a certain style, though it may try to reduce all stylistic choices in favour of a focus on content. Style cannot be annulled or cancelled, but some texts are more prone to stylistic analyses than others. In this volume, the contributors theorise five distinct levels of style, and analyse style in New Testament texts and contemporary Greek and Latin literature.
