| Resumo: | This article examines the four most widely discussed proposals for the genre of Acts in contemporary scholarship (biography as proposed by C. Talbert, novel as proposed by R. Pervo, epic as proposed by D. MacDonald, and history as reflected in the consensus of scholarship). Because the historical genre is currently the most widely accepted understanding, four historical subgenres are also considered (general history as proposed by D. Aune, political history as proposed by D. Balch, deuteronomistic history as proposed by T. Brodie, and apologetic history as proposed by G. Sterling). Currently the tendency of scholarship appears to be moving in the direction of understanding Acts as a mixture of genres, some of which are fictive. |
