Still, it is hard to escape the the fact that Luke maintains a biographical focus on Jesus, its principal subject. Keener has stated Luke is a biography and Acts is ancient historiography, so I'll be interested in Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-84143392270982330322010-02-16T12:50:41.624-08:002010-02-16T12:50:41.624-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Laymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11761410435140602771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363362.post-76984700794222479082010-02-16T12:50:40.117-08:002010-02-16T12:50:40.117-08:00Me, going somewhere?

Not sure what you could possibly mean.<br /><br />There are some good approaches to genre available, by Aune and Keener and Burridge, but I like how Bryan explains it so tightly. <br /><br />And just for the record, I do think that Mark, Matthew, and John are ancient biographies but tend to think Luke is the first volume of a two volume work of ancient historiography.

I think his point about identifying the dominant cluster of generic motifs is especially important in NT studies, because ancient writers could incorporate elements from other genres while the overarching work would be in one specific genre. <br /><br />Particularly (and I suspect this is where you're going with this train of thought), the gospels are stillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
