{"product_id":"archetypes-and-the-fourth-gospel","title":"Archetypes and the Fourth Gospel","description":"\u003cp\u003eEmploying Northrop Frye’s system of archetypal literary criticism — the use of romance, tragedy, irony and satire, and comedy — Brian Larsen offers a compelling summary of the essential governing framework and means of exchange between literature and theology. Characters in the Fourth Gospel are examined through a specific archetype, and, reciprocally, these characters illuminate and inform important theological aspects of their respective archetypes: Jesus and romance (hero story); Pilate and tragedy; the Jews and Thomas and irony; and Peter and comedy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume further clarifies the understanding of Frye’s archetypesand identifies the key variable between each one: the relationship between (1) a belief or ideal and (2) experience or reality. Helping to advance dialogue between literature, biblical studies and theology, and providing insightful readings for a number of Fourth Gospel characters and texts, Larsen’s examination will appeal to those seeking a new perspective on the themes of the New Testament or those seeking theological insights into literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220697895256,"sku":"9780567692894","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780567692894.jpg?v=1770269442","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/archetypes-and-the-fourth-gospel","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
