History, biography, and the genre of Luke-Acts : an exploration of literary divergence in Greek narrative discourse / by Andrew W. Pitts.

• Genre and method in Luke-Acts research -- Identifying Greek history and biography -- Topical focus and participant identification -- Frames I: initiations and commencements -- Frames II: self-identification and genealogies -- Time management and authentication strategies -- The genre of Luke-Acts.

• Unlike contemporary literary-linguistic configurations of genre, current methodologies for the study of the Gospel genere are designed only to target genre similarities not genre differences. This basic oversight results in the convoluted discussion we witness in Lukan genre study today. Each recent treatment of the genre of Luke-Acts represtents a distinct effort to draw parallels between Luke-Acts and a specific (or multiple) literary tradition(s). These studies all underestimate the role of literary divergence in genre analysis, leveraging much - if not, all - of their case on literary proximity. This monograph will show how attention to literary divergence from a number of angles may bring resolution to the increasingly complex discussions of the genre(s) of Luke-Acts. --Back cover.
