Moving beyond such explanations, the present study argues that miraculous prison-escape was a central event in a traditional and culturally significant story about the introduction and foundation of cults - a story discernable in the Bacchae and other ancient texts. When the mythic quality and cultural diffusion of the prison-escape narratives are taken into account, the resemblance of Lukan and Dionysian narrative episodes is seen to depend less on specific literary borrowing, and more on shared familiarity with cultural discourses involving the legitimating portrayal of new cults in the ancient world. 546 In English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 630 00 Bible.|pActs|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79022117|xCriticism, Form.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005441 630 06 Bible.|pActes des Apôtres|xCritique de la forme. 630 7 Bible.|pActs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892885 630 07 Bible.|pActs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1892885 630 07 Bibel|pApostelgeschichte.|2gnd 650 0 Miracles|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85085930|vComparative studies.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001486 650 0 Escapes|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044783|xMythology|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh00006805|vComparative studies.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001486 650 0 Myth in the Bible.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85089368 650 7 Miracles.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1023535 650 7 Escapes.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/915129 650 7 Mythology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1031701 650 7 Myth in the Bible.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1031695 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Comparative studies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423767 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWeaver, John B.|tPlots of epiphany : prison-escape in Acts of the Apostles.|dBerlin : W. de Gruyter, [2004]|hxii, 335 pages ; 24 cm.|kBeihefte zur Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der älteren Kirche ; Band 131|z9783110182668|w(DLC) 2004022188 830 0 Beihefte zur Zeitschrift für die neutestamentliche Wissenschaft und die Kunde der älteren Kirche ;|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42037752|vBeiheft 131. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=629106|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
