Description
Summary:This article, and its prelude, ‘Character Reconstruction in the New Testament (1): The Theory’, explore how character can be reconstructed from the New Testament text. The first article outlined a uniform three-dimensional approach to character, and this article shows how the theory works in practice. I first reconstruct the character of Jesus’ mother in the canonical Gospels, and then account for the differences between the four portrayals.
