The concluding department of the article hence demonstrates the potential benefits of using Systemic Functional Linguistics genre theory past times way of a sample genre analysis of the Lord’s Prayer inwards Matt 6:7–13, which demonstrates how to empathise the social component division of genres together with opens an avenue for fresh enquiry into the inquiry of Gospel genres.Keywords: genre theory, genre criticism, gospels, Systemic Functional Linguistics, register, βίος, ancient biography
