Luke and Scripture
The Function of Sacred Tradition in Luke–Acts
By Craig A. Evans, James A. Sanders
Author - Craig A. Evans
Author - James A. Sanders
"This is a fascinating, lucidly presented work offering fresh insights into a number of key passages in the Gospel and showing the fruitfulness of examining Luke's usage in the light of Judaism. Whatever their level of expertise, students of Luke and of the use of Scripture in Scripture will find useful and challenging material in this comprehensive volume.”
I. Howard Marshall, King's College
"Luke and Scripture is an important contribution to the study of comparative midrash and the role and function of authoritative, sacred tradition in the life of the early Christian community. This book sharpens the definition of midrash criticism in relation to other methods both in theory and practice and in the process sheds further light on Luke's understanding of Jesus, the origin of early Christianity, and his own experience in terms of Israel's sacred tradition and institutions.”
Mikeal C. Parsons, Baylor University
