I argue that many New Testament scholars have neglected these developments in genre theory, ranging from Richard Burridge's classic statement on the gospels genre (and his subsequent application to Acts) to one of the most recent assessments, that of Luke-Acts by Daniel Smith and Zachary Kostopoulos. |
