BOOK

It is widely accepted by New Testament scholars that the Gospel
of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles probably originated as two
parts of one work by a single author. In spite of this, the books
have been assigned to very different genres: Luke is
traditionally viewed as a biography of Jesus, and Acts as a
history of the early church. Comparing in detail the structure
and content of Acts with the formal features of history, novel
epic and biography, Sean Adams challenges this division. Applying
both ancient and modern genre theory, he argues that the best
genre parallel for the Acts of the Apostles is in fact collected
biography. Offering a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of
genre theory, along with an insightful argument regarding the
composition and purpose of Acts, this book will be of interest to
those studying the New Testament, Acts, genre theory and ancient
literature
