The Library of New Testament Studies

Luke is here presented as contributing to New Testament Christology through his treatment of Old Testament Christological texts. This redaction-critical study argues that Luke''s use of the Old Testament is not so much a ''proof from prophecy'' as a ''proclamation'' that draws both upon prophecies and upon patterns. This proclamation as it is developed in Luke-Acts serves to turn the reader''s attention from seeing Jesus as Messiah to seeing him eventually as Lord.
