They consider how those narratives imitated or exploited conventions of fiction to produce forms of literature that expressed new ideas or shaped community identity within the shifting social and political climates of their own societies. Major authors and texts surveyed include Chariton, Shakespeare, Homer, Vergil, Plato, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Daniel, 3 Maccabees, the Testament of Abraham, rabbinic midrash, the Apocryphal Acts, Ezekiel the Tragedian, and the Sophist Aelian. This diverse collection reveals and examines prevalent issues and syntheses in the making: the pervasive use and subversive power of imitation, the distinction between fiction and history, and the use of history in the expression of identity. 410 0$aSymposium series (Society of Biblical Literature) ;$vno. 32. 606 $aNarration in the Bible$vComparative studies 606 $aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aNarration in the Bible 615 0$aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek literature, Hellenistic$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a220.6/6 701 $aBrant$b Jo-Ann A.$f1956-$01871038 701 $aHedrick$b Charles W$0223483 701 $aShea$b Chris$f1949-$01871039 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964604403321 996 $aAncient fiction$94479690 997 $aUNINA
