How are the resurrection appearances of Luke's Gospel shaped to
offer a climax to the narrative? How does this narrative conclusion
compare to the wider ancient literary milieu? Recognition and the
Resurrection Appearances of Luke 24 proposes that the ancient
literary technique of recognition offers a compelling lens through
which to understand the climatic role of the resurrection
appearances of Jesus as depicted in Luke 24. After presenting the
development of recognition in ancient Jewish and Greco-Roman
literature, Thompson demonstrates how Luke 24 deploys the
recognition tradition to shape the form and function of the
resurrection appearances. The ancient recognition tradition not
only casts light on various literary and theological features of
the chapter but also shapes the way the appearances function in the
wider narrative. By utilizing recognition, Luke 24 generates
cognitive, affective, commissive, and hermeneutical functions for
the characters internal to the narrative and for the audience. The
result is a compelling climax to Luke's Gospel that resonates with
Luke's wider literary and theological themes. This work offers a
compelling analysis of the Luke's Gospel in the ancient literary
context in light of the ancient technique of recognition that will
appeal to those interested in narrative approaches to the New
Testament or the interpretation of the New Testament in the wider
literary milieu.
