Israel's Scripture Traditions and the Synoptic Gospels: Story Shaping Story

Blurb

Chief among this writer's objectives is to show that the Synoptic Gospels are "synoptic" precisely because they share common structures and themes rooted in Israel's stories about itself. Common to the synoptic stories are traditions about Israel's past that defined it throughout the centuries: Exodus and Sinai, Way/Conquest, Temple, and Kingship.
