Poetics for the Gospels? Rethinking narrative criticism Petri Merenlahti - Great Britain T&T Clark Ltd 2002 - 174tr. Paperback 21cm

Poetics, the study of the making of literary works, regards the gospels as literature, in contrast to the historical-critical approach. Petri Merenlahti makes the case that poetics offers a vital critical tool to interpreting the gospels. But he argues that poetics must also be 'historical', as perceptions of literary form and value are not fixed, but evolve and develop from one time and culture to another.
