This basic oversight results in the convoluted discussion we witness in Lukan genre study today. Each recent treatment of the genre of Luke-Acts represents 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.Biblical Interpretation Series;volume177.226.4066Pitts Andrew W.1179572NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910795316003321History, biography, and the genre of Luke-Acts3765037UNINA
