The recognition type-scene (\u003ci\u003eanagnōrisis\u003c\/i\u003e) was a common feature in ancient drama and narrative, highly valued by Aristotle as a touching moment of truth, e.g., in Oedipus' tragic self-discovery and Odysseus' happy homecoming. The book offers a reconstruction of the conventions of the genre and argues that it is one of the most recurrent and significant literary forms in the Gospel. When portraying Jesus as the divine stranger from heaven, the Gospel employs and transforms the formal and ideological structures of the type-scene in order to show how Jesus' true identity can be recognized behind the half-mask of his human appearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in hardcover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kasper Bro Larsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004226885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004226883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Kasper Bro Larsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083365818623,"sku":"9789004226883","price":59.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/recognizing-the-stranger-kasper-bro-larsen-9789004226883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
