The series Beihefte zur Zeitschrift fur die neutestamentliche
Wissenschaft (BZNW) is one of the oldest and most highly regarded
international scholarly book series in the field of New Testament
studies. Since 1923 it has been a forum for seminal works focusing
on Early Christianity and related fields. The series is grounded in
a historical-critical approach and also explores new methodological
approaches that advance our understanding of the New Testament and
its world.
Tannehill shows how the narrative contributes to the impact of
Luke's literary whole. The study further shows that Luke's use of
recurring words, patterns of repetition and contrast, irony,
pathos, and many other features of this narrative contribute to the
total fabric of Luke's masterpiece.
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.""
