Summary:

According to narrative analysis, the message in each of the Gospels is conveyed not only through Jesus' teachings or particular stories but through the overall narrative itself-particularly in the presentation and resolution of conflict. Through dramatic narrative the evangelists convey a message to Christians about how they are to act in situations of conflict without abandoning the demands of love. By examining the narrative strategies in each of the four Gospels, Robert Beck offers a fresh contribution to biblical teaching on violence, ethics, and the Christian pursuit of peace. Book jacket.
