Publisher Description: Luke-Acts is the story about what God brought to a climax in the history of the early community of Jesus' followers. Danker's essay explores the sweeping and inclusive nature of Luke's writings by arguing that Luke directs his message to a broad-spectrum of people in many different locations. This volume examines the ways in which the Third Gospel, as well as the book of Acts, reach out to both the Hebrew and the Hellenist through Luke's placement of Jesus in the context of Israel's history by the use of motifs significant to the Mosaically-oriented hearer and through the use of language interesting to the Hellenistically-oriented found in ancient Greek inscriptions, rhetoric, and philosophy. With a thorough and unequaled knowledge of Luke's original language, Danker offers new insights and a fuller understanding of Luke-Acts to the reader of this book. |
