In fact, the gospels do not give evidence of being a completely unique genre. So Luke fits into this discussion, perhaps even more so since his prologue indicates awareness of Greco-Roman literary style.46 Recent work has shown that the gospels read much like ancient Greco-Roman biographies and that the issue of bias does not preclude a discussion of historicity. The detailed work by Richard Burridge has shown how much like an ancient bios each one of the gospels is. Luke fits into this model well.
