By means of a literary and rhetorical approach, Humphrey offers new insights into the use of vision-reports, moving beyond previous studies that have tended to focus only on the recorded event (what actually happened?) to the deeper polemical, literary, and theological dimensions (how and to what end do the authors embed the vision-report in their writings?). Humphrey details four uses of vision-reports: to complete the narrative, to direct the argument, to shape the narrative, and to fire the imagination. Taking the cue from these narratives, which are at once ""open"" and ""directive,"" she commends a hermeneutics of receptivity to the reader.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Edith McEwan Humphrey</note> <subject> <topic>Bible - New Testament - Criticism, interpretation, etc</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Visions</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">225.6</classification> <classification authority="ddc">E21-H93</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780801031571, 0801031575</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13058/an.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/13058/an.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-1</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071216.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
