About this title

Synopsis

How did Greco-Roman discourse shape early Christian literature and identity? Contextualizing Acts advances the discussion in this collection of innovative analyses of the intersection of Lukan narrative and Greco-Roman discourse. Topics span the adaptation of ancient rhetoric and historiography, influence of epics and novels, role of orality, and status of designations such as apologetic.
