"Cornelis Bennema has already established himself at the forefront of the study of characterization in the Gospels. He has identified the need for a comprehensive theory of characterization that is informed by both ancient and modern literary theorists. I fully expect that his next book will be a milestone in the field of narrative criticism of the Gospels and Acts." R. Alan Culpepper Mercer University
