That physical descriptions carry moral freight in characterization has been largely missed in modern biblical scholarship, and this study brings that to the forefront. Specifically, this is a study of one particular physical marker?blindness. When we look at Greco-Roman literature, a kind of literary topos begins to emerge, a set of assumptions that ancient audiences would typically make when encountering blind characters. Luke-Acts makes use of such a topos in a way that becomes programmatic, serving as a kind of interpretive key to Luke-Acts that is generally unnoticed in modern scholarship. 410 0$aBiblical interpretation series ;$vv. 94. 606 $aCharacter$xBiblical teaching 606 $aBlindness in the Bible 606 $aPhysiognomy 615 0$aCharacter$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aBlindness in the Bible. 615 0$aPhysiognomy. 676 $a226.4/066 700 $aHartsock$b Chad$01700820 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812570703321 996 $aSight and blindness in Luke-Acts$94084124 997 $aUNINA
