Praise for the first edition:
bOne of the hotly debated topics of recent years has been what type of literature the Gospels are. Richard Burridge reviews the data and discussion and proposes a solution. . . . This treatment of the questions will serve as a standard for future work.b
-- "Religious Studies Review"
bBurridgebs book is the most comprehensive and lucid discussion of the genre of the Gospels yet undertaken. . . . This is a book that students of the Gospels cannot afford to avoid. . . . It is a truly astonishing tour de force -- interdisciplinary biblical scholarship at its very best.b
-- "Biblical Interpretation"
bBurridge reexamines the old question of the genre of a Gospel. He situates it within the fluidgenre of Graeco-Roman biography through a study exacting in terms of new methods, a wealth of data, and rigor. . . . This is an immensely learned volume. . . . It not only represents a superb survey of the topic but also breaks new ground.b
-- "Catholic Biblical Quarterly"
bThis volume ought to end any legitimate denials of the canonical Gospelsb biographical character. It has made its case.b
-- "Journal of Biblical Literature"
