The Significance of the Temple Incident in the Narratives of the Four Gospels
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Deolito Vistar brings a new perspective to the interpretation of the temple incident—a key event in Jesus’ life—by approaching the subject not from the “historical Jesus” point of view but from that of the authors of the Gospels. Using composition criticism as a method, Vistar sensitively analyzes the four Gospels’ accounts of the incident and shows areas of commonalities and crucial areas where the four evangelists have their own distinctive understanding of what Jesus meant by his protest in the temple. This book is a helpful example of the use of composition analysis in the exegesis of Gospel texts. It is also a helpful study of what is now generally taken for granted in Gospel scholarship: that the four evangelists were both historians and theologians.
