Greetings, Friends:
I have just received Not In His Image, by John Lamb Lash.
Lash states that the four Gospels (NT) belong to a literary genre known as Hellenistic romance, a sort of novella consisting of miracles, supernatural signs, stock characters, etc. During the first century of the Christian era many of these novellas, which mixed fable and folklore with some realistic elements, were circulating.
They were the pulp fiction of their time . . .
NIHI, p.107
Have you read this?
