Introduces literary, historical, and theological issues of Luke
and Acts.
Biblical texts create worlds of meaning, and invite readers to
enter them. When readers enter such textual worlds, which are often
strange and complex, they are confronted with theological claims.
With this in mind, the purpose of the Interpreting Biblical Texts
series is to help serious readers in their experience of reading
and interpreting by providing guides for their journeys into
textual worlds. The controlling perspective is expressed in the
operative word of the title--interpreting. The primary focus of the
series is not so much on the world behind the texts or out of which
the texts have arisen as on the worlds created by the texts in
their engagement with readers.
In keeping with the goals of the series, this volume provides an
introductory guide to readers of the New Testament books of Luke
and Acts. It focuses on both the synchronic and diachronic
dimensions of the literature in an effort to acquaint readers with
literary, historical, and theological issues that will facilitate
interpretation of these important books.
F. Scott Spencer is Professor of New Testament at Baptist
Theological Seminary at Richmond.
