The death of Jesus is of central importance in all four New
Testament gospels. For centuries much attention and scholarship
have been devoted to both the historical and theological aspects of
this event. Recent years, however, have witnessed new ways of
studying these texts. In The Death of Jesus in Luke-Acts, Joseph B.
Tyson applies literary-critical methods to the two New Testament
writings attributed to Luke. His focus is on the death of Jesus,
the most dramatic segment of the Gospel of Luke and the event of
fundamental significance in Acts. Tyson's clear treatment of Luke's
view of the growing opposition to Jesus from the Jewish leadership
and his discussion of the circumstances that ultimately led to the
crucifixion of Jesus by the Romans provide a deeper understanding
of these two important texts. His careful analysis of the ways in
which Luke differs from Matthew and Mark helps establish Luke's
uniqueness as a literary chronicler of events. The resulting study
offers an original interpretation of Luke's views of the death of
Jesus and makes an important contribution to Lukan and New
Testament scholarship.
