N2  - Poetics', the study of making literary works, regards the gospels as literature. Petri Merenlahti makes the case that poetics offer a vital critical tool to interpreting the gospels. He argues that poetics must also be "historical", as perceptions of literary form and value are not fixed, but evolve and develop from one time and culture to another. He provides a comprehensive account of the development and current state of poetics and narrative criticism.Through scrupulous methodological discussion and detailed analysis of gospel narratives, Merenlahti offers a highly productive future programme for historial poetics in gospel studies
