Ancient Fiction: The Matrix of Early Christian and Jewish NarrativeJo-Ann A. Brant, Charles W. Hedrick, Chris Shea Society of Biblical Lit, 2005 - 372 من الصفحات The essays in this volume examine the relationship between ancient fiction in the Greco-Roman world and early Jewish and Christian narratives. They consider how those narratives imitated or exploited conventions of fiction to produce forms of literature that expressed new ideas or shaped community identity within the shifting social and political climates of their own societies. Major authors and texts surveyed include Chariton, Shakespeare, Homer, Vergil, Plato, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Daniel, 3 Maccabees, the Testament of Abraham, rabbinic midrash, the Apocryphal Acts, Ezekiel the Tragedian, and the Sophist Aelian. This diverse collection reveals and examines prevalent issues and syntheses in the making: the pervasive use and subversive power of imitation, the distinction between fiction and history, and the use of history in the expression of identity. |

الصفحة 126 - You and I, Adeimantus, at this moment are not poets, but founders of a State : now the founders of a State ought to know the general forms in which poets should cast their tales, and the limits which must be observed by them, but to make the tales is not their business.

Something of this kind, I replied : God is always to be represented as he truly is, whatever be the sort of poetry, epic, lyric, or tragic, in which the representation...
