![]() Jesus, the Gospels and Acts' and 'Part IV. Subsequent Parts of the volume focus on three themes, each reflecting some aspect of Dungan's own work, 'Part II. Part I concludes with a full bibliography of Dungan's published work. Dungan,' is a lively and revealing 'Cooperative Essay on a Collaborative Scholar,' composed by five of Dungan's colleagues three, from the University of Tennessee a fourth, from the editorial team with Dungan for The International Bible Commentary and the fifth, Dungan's friend from childhood and co-author of their popular Sourcebook for the Study of the Gospels. These colleagues joined together to honor David Laird Dungan, Emeritus Professor of New Testament and Early Christianity, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, whose impressive teaching, research, and publishing career has now spanned over four decades.Opening 'Part I. Resourcing New Testament Studies includes fifteen essays, contributed by twenty, internationally known scholars, including representatives from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. A fascinating investigation of the New Testament as a classic literary work, this Very Short Introduction uses a literary framework-plot, character, narrative arc, genre-to illuminate the language, structure, and the crafting of this venerable text. ![]() He reveals that whether read as a single document or as a collection of works, the New Testament presents readers with a wide variety of forms and viewpoints, and a literary exploration helps bring this richness to light. At the conclusion of the book, Keefer steps back and asks questions about the New Testament as a whole. Keefer shows how, in such familiar stories as the parable of the Good Samaritan, a literary analysis can uncover an unexpected complexity to what seems a simple, straightforward tale. The book first explores the major sections of the New Testament-the gospels, Paul's letters, and Revelation-as individual literary documents. Unique among books that examine the Bible as literature, this brilliantly compact introduction offers an intriguing double-edged look at this universal text-a religiously informed literary analysis. Looking at the New Testament through the lens of literary study, Kyle Keefer offers an engrossing exploration of this revered religious text as a work of literature, but also keeps in focus its theological ramifications. Indeed, this relatively small group of twenty-seven works, written during the height of the Roman Empire, not only helped create and sustain a vast world religion, but also have been integral to the larger cultural dynamics of the West, above and beyond particular religious expressions. The words, phrases, and stories of the New Testament permeate the English language.
