Although character has been the subject of focused literary-critical study of the New Testament since the 1970s, Bennema observes that there is still no consensus regarding how character should be understood in contemporary literary theory or in biblical studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany New Testament scholars seem to presume that characters in Greco-Roman literature are two-dimensional, Aristotelian figures, unlike the well-rounded, psychologized individuals who appear in modern fiction. They continue nevertheless to apply contemporary literary theory to characters in ancient writings. Bennema here offers a full, comprehensive, and non-reductionist theory for the analysis, classification, and evaluation of characters in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornelis Bennema\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1451472218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781451472219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Augsburg Fortress Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.13w x 0.52d","brand":"Cornelis Bennema","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066316517631,"sku":"9781451472219","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13d040df-18f0-4411-a395-c751c7bc7efc.jpg?v=1685406570","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-theory-of-character-in-cornelis-bennema-9781451472219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
