Title: We Passages in the Acts of the Apostles: The Narrator as Narrative Character Author: Campbell, William S Publisher: Brill; Publication Date: 2007 Hardcover; ISBN: 9789004146761 Volumes: 1; Pages: xii, 152 List Price in Cloth: $111.00 Our price: $93.99 (Add to Cart button is at the bottom of this page) This book explores the narrative significance of the "we" passages in Acts within the boundaries of acceptable ancient grammatical practice. It contends that the occasional firstperson plural narrator represents a character whose entrance at crucial moments in Paul's career parallels the role of Barnabas, the apostle's earlier companion. Although consistent with the grammatical practice of ancient writers, the use of the "we" style in Acts nonetheless represents a variation of those conventions because the author of Acts wrote anonymously and never claimed personal participation in the events narrated. In analyzing the function of the narrator as narrative character, the book presents narrative literary strategy as a fruitful approach to these enigmatic texts whose narrative possibilities have in the past been subordinated to their historical potential. |
