Historiography and Self-Definition: Josephos, Luke-Acts, and Apologetic Historiography (Supplements to Novum Testamentum)
(This is the first full and systematic attempt to set Hell...)
This is the first full and systematic attempt to set Hellenistic Jewish and early Christian historiography within the framework of Greco-Roman traditions. The thesis of the monograph is that a distinct historiographical tradition, apologetic historiography, developed as a result of a dialectic relationship with Greek ethnography. Professor Sterling situates the Hellenistic Jewish historians, Josephus, and Luke-Acts within this tradition.
