On which see, among much else of value, Stephen E. Fowl, "The role of authorial intention in the theological interpretation of Scripture," in Between two horizons: spanning New Testament studies and systematic theology, ed. Joel B. Green and Max Turner (Grand Rapids, MI: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2000), 71-87 (chap. 4).
Diatribe
"Diatribe, based on the Greek noun διατριβή, . . . is a modern literary term describing an informal rhetorical mode of argumentation principally characterized by a lively dialogical style including the use of imaginary discussion partners (often abruptly addressed), to whom are attributed hypothetical objections and false conclusions."
David E. Aune, The Westminster dictionary of New Testament and early Christian literature and rhetoric (Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2003), s.v. Diatribe, p.127 (pp. 127-129).
