From the publisher
Drawing on cutting-edge research in genre and memory studies, Keener demonstrates that the Synoptic Gospels function as ancient biographies, accounts deeply concerned with preserving historical information about a real person. By understanding how ancient biography worked and how early communities transmitted memories, readers gain powerful tools for assessing the reliability of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
