The Origins of Early Christian Literature : Contextualizing the New Testament within Greco-Roman Literary Culture - 9781108835305

Conventional approaches to the Synoptic gospels argue that the gospel authors acted as literate spokespersons for religious communities, akin to the Romantic poet speaking for the common folk. This book argues that they were written by educated elites in dialogue with Greco-Roman literature, not exclusively by and for Christian communities.
