THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO LUKE IN SOUTH AFRICA
(This title is available on demand: expected date of dispatch will be 4-7 working days once ordered) In keeping with the Pillar New Testament Commentary s distinctive character, this volume by James R. Edwards on Luke gives special attention to the Third Gospel s vocabulary and historical setting, its narrative purpose and unique themes, and its theological significance for the church and believers today. Though Luke is often thought to have a primarily Gentile focus, Edwards counterbalances that perspective by citing numerous evidences of Luke s overarching interest in depicting Jesus as the fulfillment of God s providential work in the history of Israel, and he even considers the possibility that Luke himself was a Jew. In several excursuses Edwards discusses particular topics, including Luke s infancy narratives, the mission of Jesus as the way of salvation, and Luke s depiction of the universal scope of the gospel. While fully conversant with all the latest scholarship, Edwards writes in a lively, fluent style that will commend this commentary to ministers, students, scholars, and many other serious Bible readers."
