{"product_id":"the-media-matrix-of-early-nicholas-elder-9780567701541","title":"The Media Matrix of Early Jewish and Christian Narrative","description":"Generically, theologically, and concerning content, Mark and Joseph and Aseneth are quite different. The former is a product of the nascent Jesus movement and influenced by the Greco-Roman Bioi (\"Lives\"). It details the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of a wandering Galilean. The latter is a Hellenistic Jewish narrative influenced by Greek romances and Jewish novellas. It expands the laconic account of Joseph's marriage to Aseneth in Genesis 41 into a full-fledged love and adventure story. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite these differences, Elder finds remarkable similarities that the texts share. Elder uses both texts to examine media and modes of composition in antiquity, arguing that they were both composed via dictation from their antecedent oral traditions. Elder's volume offers a fresh approach to the composition of both Joseph and Aseneth and Mark as well as to many of their respective interpretive debates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Elder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0567701549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780567701541\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Nicholas Elder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982492172543,"sku":"9780567701541","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c759380e-7e56-4283-98f3-4bb4b8bfbc98.jpg?v=1683261468","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-media-matrix-of-early-nicholas-elder-9780567701541","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
