Poetics, the study of the making of literary works, regards the
gospels as literature, in contrast to the historical-critical
approach. Petri Merenlahti makes the case that poetics offers a
vital critical tool to interpreting the gospels. But he argues that
poetics must also be 'historical', as perceptions of literary form
and value are not fixed, but evolve and develop from one time and
culture to another.
Merenlahti provides a comprehensive account of the development and
the state of the art of poetics and narrative criticsm. Through
scrupulous methodological discussion and detailed analysis of
gospel narratives, he also offers a potentially highly productive
future programme for historical poetics in gospel studies.
