“…This consensus grew in reaction to the nineteenth-century ‘lives of Jesus’, which took the Gospels as biographies and combined them to produce a ‘biography’ of Jesus (e.g. Renan 1863; ET: Renan 1864). Karl Ludwig Schmidt and Rudolf Bultmann represent key figures in this reaction, as Burridge notes (Burridge 2004: 8-12; Schmidt 1923 [ET Schmidt 2002]; Bultmann 1931 [ET Bultmann 1968]).…”

A quiet revolution has taken place in scholarly understanding of Gospel genre since the publication of Richard Burridge's What are the Gospels? in 1992, reversing the earlier consensus that the canonical Gospels should not be considered to be biographies. Burridge's research has been widely accepted and has produced a new consensus, that the Gospels are a species of ancient biography (βίος). This article: (i) lays out the former consensus and demonstrates its widespread acceptance; (ii) outlines the key arguments of Burridge's research and the contribution he made; (iii) provides evidence of the shift in the scholarly consensus to Burridge's view that the Gospels are ancient biographies; (iv) maps discussion of genre in recent Gospel commentaries; and (v) suggests further work that is opened up by the new consensus, notably in fine-tuning the identification of Gospel genre.

“…For example, he did not mention the discoveries of Ernest Renan in Phoenicia in 1860. Renan did some excavations in Byblos, Sidon and Tyre (see Renan 1864). He enriched the Louvre's collections with antiques brought back from these sites.…”

Entre la fin du xixe et le début du xxe siècle, la découverte d’une nouvelle culture méditerranéenne, celle des Ibères, est avant tout le fait d’hommes de science pétris de culture classique. Qu’il s’agisse d’étudier leur grande sculpture en pierre ou leurs productions céramiques, les débats s’attachent d’abord à en démêler l’origine en partant du principe qu’un peuple « barbare » ne peut avoir donné naissance à lui seul à une culture matérielle originale. Il a nécessairement été éduqué par des voisins plus « civilisés ». Les discussions tournent en partie autour de la part qu’il convient de réserver aux influences grecques et phénico-puniques. Un tel dossier permet donc de saisir le regard que portent les érudits d’alors sur les mondes phéniciens et carthaginois, sur leur art et, partant, sur leur goût. Leurs discours s’élaborent dans un contexte bien particulier qui se reflète avec force dans la production historiographique d’alors : celui de La France juive d’Édouard Drumont et de l’affaire Dreyfus.
