Getting the details into parentheses - the limits of Jurabib?

Dear users of Jurabib,

I am in the process of formatting a text according to the style of T & T 
Clark. They use a variant of Oxford.

Problem number one is that T & T Clark wants - for monographs - all the 
information except author, title, and page-number, to be within 
parenthesis. Can Jurabib do this? Now I get such info as series, 
translations, etc. outside the parantheses, e.g. like this: "Hans Dieter 
Betz, Galatians: A Commentary on Paul’s Letter to the Churches in Galatia, 
(Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1988), Herm, pp. 31–37." In this example, 
"Herm", should be before the closing parenthesis.

Problem number two is that they want references to articles to include the 
page-span of the article followed by the actual page cited in parentheses, 
like this: "C. Brown, ‘The “Son of Man” Debate’, NTS 12 (1970), pp. 121-38 
(125)." Jurabib features the "\formatarticlepages" function, but if that 
is used also the pages for books will get parentheses, which is not 
acceptable.

I use LaTeX + BibTeX + Jurabib. Please find the testfiles below. Any help 
greately appreciated!

With best regards,
Mika Hietanen

Here is a minimal working example with the text file, the bibliography 
file, and the configuration file for jurabib:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{jurabib}\bibliographystyle{jurabib}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}

According to Aristotle, there are three sorts of argument.\footnote{On 
this point I am indebted to \cite[31--37]{betz}.} The objectives of these 
are, respectively, certainty, acceptability, and persuasiveness. If the 
aim is certainty, the arguments need to be demonstrative, and the theory 
logic.\footnote{See the overview in \cite[32--33]{betz}.}  Briggs' survey 
of the uses of speech act theory in biblical interpretation gives us a 
useful introduction.\footnote{\cite[12]{briggs}.}

\bibliography{testlit}

\end{document}
