In this title, Kuecker uses social identity theory to examine the
interface between the Holy Spirit and ethnicity in "Luke-Acts".
Kuecker uses an artillery of social identity theory to demonstrate
that in "Luke"'s narrative the Spirit is the central figure in the
formation of a new social identity. In his argumenation, Kuecker
provides extended exegetical treatments of "Luke" 1-4 and "Acts"
1-15. He shows that "Luke" 1-4 establishes a foundation for
"Luke"'s understanding of the relationship between human identity,
the Spirit, and the 'other' - especially as it relates to the
distribution of in-group benefits beyond group boundaries. With
regard to "Acts" 1-15, Kuecker shows that the Spirit acts whenever
human identity is in question in order to transform communities and
individuals via the formation of a new social identity. Kuecker
argues that "Luke" depicts this Spirit-formed social identity as a
different way of being human in community, relative to the
normative identity processes of other groups in his narrative. This
transformed identity produces profound expressions of interethnic
reconciliation in "Luke-Acts" expressed through reformed economic
practice, impressive intergroup hospitality, and a reoriented use
of ethnic language. Formerly the "Journal for the Study of the New
Testament Supplement", this is a book series that explores the many
aspects of New Testament study including historical perspectives,
social-scientific and literary theory, and theological, cultural
and contextual approaches. "The Early Christianity in Context"
series, a part of "JSNTS", examines the birth and development of
early Christianity up to the end of the third century CE. The
series places Christianity in its social, cultural, political and
economic context. European Seminar on Christian Origins and
"Journal for the Study of the Historical Jesus Supplement" are also
part of "JSNTS".
