Description: ""Most of the following essays reveal my interest in
the significance of literary forms--both the short literary forms
in the Gospels, such as pronouncement stories, and an entire Gospel
as a formed narrative. I am interested in the significance of these
forms, not just in literary classification systems . . . . I am
interested in literary form as a clue to how the text may engage
hearers and readers--impact their thought and life--if they are
sensitive respondents. The Gospel stories have been shaped in ways
that give them particular potentials for significant engagement.
Study of literary form can help us recognize these potentials.""

Endorsements: ""For anyone who thinks that the study of literary
forms is equivalent to Formgeschichte and hence obsolete for
interpreting the Gospels, Tannehill's The Shape of the Gospel
should cause reconsideration. . . . Any appropriation of the
Gospels for ethical reflection should be informed by the rhetorical
and literary issues addressed by Tannehill in these essays.""
