What is a Gospel: the genre of the cannonical Gospels

---

Talbert skilfully dismantles the critical consensus that the Gospels don't belong to the literary genre of ancient biography, but are a genre of their own appearing sui generis. Talbert shows abundant parallels of mythic, cultic and functional forms between the gospels and other ancient biographies (both pre-Christian and post-Christian). This marshaling of background evidence convinces Talbert that when one adopts Bultmanian criteria for determining literary genre, the gospels evidently fall within the same genre categories as other ancient biographies..
