Luke's Gospel
Jonathan Knight
Routledge, 1998-05-29 - 232 pages
Luke's
Gospel provides a comprehensive and schematic reading of Luke's Gospel,
one of the most important books detailing the life and works of Christ,
in six main parts. Knight introduces the Gospel and the narrative
theory on which the Gospel rests. He offers a detailed,
chapter-by-chapter exposition of the Gospel and also alternative
perspectives, such as feminism and deconstruction. He considers the
principal motifs of the Gospel, particularly the theme of the temple,
which has been previously overlooked in Luke scholarship, arguing that
Jesus pronounces the present temple forsaken by God to introduce himself
as the cornerstone of the eschatological temple. Finally, he examines
earlier readings of Luke's Gospel.
Jonathan Knight presents an
accessible and jargon-free introduction to the Gospel and makes a
valuable addition to the New Testament Readings series.
