Reading the Bible as Greco-Roman Literature
Manage episode 434988067 series 3512279
The authors of the New Testament were playing with genres, philosophies and themes that were well-known in Greco-Roman literature. Guest Robyn Faith Walsh teaches us how to read the Bible for what it was in the 1st and 2nd centuries — part and parcel of a wider literary world.
Robyn's eye-opening new book is The Origins of Early Christian Literature and we can't recommend it highly enough.
