Greg Carey's guide equips readers to develop their own informed
assessments of Luke's Gospel. The book begins with an inductive
exposition of Luke's singular approach to composing a story about
Jesus, examining its use of Mark, clues to its social setting, and
its distinctive literary strategies. Recognizing that many readers
approach Luke for theological and religious reasons, while many
others do not, a chapter on 'Spirit' addresses Luke's presentation
of the God of Israel, how the Gospel ties salvation to the person
of Jesus, and how the problems of sin and evil find their
resolution in the kingdom of God and in community of those who
follow Jesus. A chapter on 'Practice' examines the Gospel's vision
for human community. While many readers find a revolutionary
message in which women, the poor, Gentiles and sinners find
themselves included and blessed in Luke's Gospel, this volume calls
attention to inconsistencies and tensions within the narrative.
Luke does speak toward inclusion, Carey argues, but not in a
revolutionary way. Could it be that the Gospel promises more than
it delivers? Carey suggests that Luke speaks to people of relative
privilege, challenging them toward mercy and inclusion rather than
toward fundamental social change. An Epilogue reflects upon
contemporary readers of Luke, most of whom enjoy privilege in their
own right, and how they may respond to Luke's story.
