The Gospel According to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles are two parts of a single literary enterprise, one of the most ambitious in the early church. This interpretation (written in non-technical language) is part of a major reassessment of the role of Jewish Christianity in the first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJuel 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBiblical scholars acknowledge the connectedness of these two books but Juel is among the first to present a full study of Luke-Acts in one related presentation, treating both books together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHe has produced an effective textbook for seminaries and one that will serve as a solid introduction for ministers and interested lay readers. A major contribution to the scholarly debate on the origin and interpretation of Luke-Acts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDONALD JUEL is Associate Professor of New Testament at Luther-Northwestern Seminary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bethlehem Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53180989669487,"sku":"0804203210","price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0866\/5184\/files\/9780804203210.jpg?v=1780427506","url":"https:\/\/bethlehembookstore.com\/products\/luke-acts-the-promise-of-history-by-donald-juel","provider":"Bethlehem Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
