This book investigates the various paraphrastic techniques employed
by Nonnus of Panopolis (5th century AD) for his poetic version of
the Gospel of John. The authors look at Nonnus' Paraphrase, the
only extant poetic Greek paraphrase of the New Testament, in the
light of ancient rhetorical theory while also exploring its
multi-faceted relationship with poetic tradition and the
theological debates of its era. The study shows how interpretation,
cardinal both in ancient literary criticism and in theology, is
exploited in a poem that is exegetical both from a philological and
a Christian point of view and adheres, at the same time, to the
literary principles of Hellenistic times and late antiquity.
