About the Book
The book offers a comprehensive exploration of Luke’s Gospel, engaging with its infancy accounts, the ministry of John the Baptist, the Beatitudes and woes, parables, miracles, discipleship, and the passion-resurrection narratives. Drawing on both classical and recent scholarship, it provides fresh insights into Luke’s distinctive theological emphases—universal salvation, reversal of values, inclusivity, and God’s liberating mission.
The study critically surveys key debates in Lukan research from the mid-20th century to the present, situating Luke within his Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts while highlighting the Gospel’s continuing relevance for the church and society today. Special attention is given to Luke’s treatment of wealth and poverty, table fellowship, women, and hospitality, as well as his portrayal of Jesus’ miracles and teachings on discipleship and leadership.
