Stilling the storm

de John J. Vincent

Most books about Jesus and the gospels deal with texts, background, culture, and authorial intentions. A new approach to the Gospels called "practice interpretation" puts the emphasis on the actual happenings behind the Gospel stories--on what first hearers might have made of them. The concern of the stidies in the series is with the "use" of a Gospel story by disciples today, and of its "influence" on them.
