Composition of Luke's Gospel

This is the first in a series of publications designed to make previously published journal material available in a more convenient and accessible form. Many university and seminary teachers will find the selections suitable not only for their personal use, but also for their classes. This reader contains a selection from the best articles in English on Luke's literary work to have appeared to date in the journal Novum Testamentum. It offers a balanced representation of the discussion over a period of four decades. The articles clearly demonstrate that interest in Luke's literary artistry is not merely a feature of the most recent biblical study. Readers will find here many insights from decades past which are entirely relevant to current modes of biblical appreciation. Indexes of authors and biblical references add to the usefulness of this volume.
