Reading Luke (Scripture and Hermeneutics) : Interpretation, Reflection, Formation

In this sixth volume, the Scripture and Hermeneutics Seminar brings its past six years of work on biblical hermeneutics to bear on the gospel according to Luke.

In his introduction, Anthony Thiselton, world authority on biblical hermeneutics, sets the context for a wide-ranging exploration of how to read Luke for God's voice today.

Traditional and more contemporary approaches are brought into dialogue with each other as top Lukan scholars reflect on how best to read Luke as Scripture.

Topics covered include the purpose of Luke-Acts, biblical theology, narrative, reception history, the parables, a missional reading, and theological interpretation.

Since prayer is a major theme in Luke, this volume explores not only the role of prayer in Luke, but also the relationship between prayer and exegesis.
