A comprehensive case for a fresh literary approach to the New Testament. For at least a half century, scholars have been adopting a literary approach to the New Testament inspired by certain branches of literary criticism and theory. In this important and illuminating book, Michal Beth Dinkler uses contemporary literary theory to enhance our understanding and interpretation of the New Testament texts. Her indispensable work asserts the need for a nuanced literary approach to fuel fresh thinking about New Testament texts as both ancient and literary.
