Description
Understanding the Genres of the New Testament: A Key to Interpretation Embedded genres, or genres within genres, can significantly impact our understanding of New Testament books. In this accessible and informative book, Jeannine Brown explores how embedded genres affect interpretation and offers hermeneutical guidance for navigating these complexities. Brown examines three case studies of contested embedded genres: the Christ poem in Philippians 2, riddles in Matthew, and the household code in 1 Peter. By analyzing these examples, she sheds light on the hermeneutical questions raised by embedded genres and provides valuable insights for students of the New Testament, pastors, and ministry leaders. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the New Testament and its interpretation.
