| Sumario: | In an era when New Testament scholars often looked exclusively to the Hebrew Bible and related documents to find the forms and ideas that would account for the shape of Christian literature, Heinz Guenther has continually encouraged a much broader search. From a literary point of view, the gospels do not, in fact, have Hebrew or Aramaic predecessors, but share 'the profile and literary conventions of Mediterranean culture. q Even though the evangelists wished to relate a story of a Jewish hero who probably spoke Aramaic as a first language, and whose horizons probably did not go much beyond Roman Palestine, they composed their accounts in Greek, using typically Greek forms (such as chreiai), and gave those accounts a very different cultural horizon - one in which Alexander, Caesar, and Socrates figured at least as importantly as Moses and Elijah. |
