Book Synopsis A Bird's-Eye View of Luke and Acts by : Michael Bird
Download or read book A Bird's-Eye View of Luke and Acts written by Michael Bird and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do the books of Luke and Acts teach us about God, Jesus, and the early church? How do these two books relate to each other? And what do they mean for us today? In this accessible and compelling introduction, Michael Bird draws us into the wide-ranging narrative of Luke-Acts to discover how Luke frames the life of Jesus and of the first disciples who set out from Jerusalem to "the ends of the earth" proclaiming the Good News. Bird shows us how these two books, when read together, tell a cohesive narrative about Jesus, the Church, and the mission of God—with implications for the whole of our lives today. Situating both books in their historical and literary context, Bird moves through an exploration of their central theological themes and culminates with consideration of the books' relevance for contemporary social issues.

Download or read book Luke-Acts written by Donald Juel and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Juel demands that Christians interpret Luke-Acts together within the framework of the Jewish crisis literature out of which they came. His hypothesis is that the best approach to understanding Luke-Acts is to study them as a single entity from the perspective of the literary dimension of New Testament texts. His reappraisal of Luke-Acts is sensitive to the historical concerns as well as the literary concerns. He provides a comprehensive treatment showing how the two books are intricately and integrally connected." --

Book Synopsis The Plan of God in Luke-Acts by : John T. Squires
Download or read book The Plan of God in Luke-Acts written by John T. Squires and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines one significant theological theme in Luke-Acts, that of 'The plan of God'. It traces the way this theme is developed throughout Luke-Acts, both through direct statements by the writer and through various associated means such as divine appearances, signs and wonders, the fulfilment of prophecy, and indications of fate as of necessity. Dr Squires locates Luke's use of this theme in the context of the history-writing of the Hellenistic period, noting numerous passages in those works which illumine Luke's theological purposes. His book shows how the notion of the plan of God is used by Luke as he writes to confirm his readers' faith, encouraging them to bear witness to this faith, and equipping them for the task of defending it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Parsons and Pervo argue that singular authorship of Luke and Acts (which they accept) does not automatically imply generic, narrative, and theological 'unity.' Their challenge to rethink each of these issues is concise, well-informed, engagingly written, and should stimulate interesting discussion among students of the Lukan writings."? Susan R. Garrett, Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary"Professors Mikeal C. Parsons and Richard I. Pervo are well aware that they are framing the questions rather than seeking to settle issues once and for all. In fact, the importance of their book lies in the challenging questions they address to scholars and students of Luke-Acts. What is the precise understanding of 'Luke-Acts'? Do these two volumes have different genres, different theological constructs, and different 'narrators'?"? Robert F. O'Toole, S.J., Gregorian University Foundation
