In this volume Mikeal C. Parsons provides an overview of Luke and
Acts, reading Luke and Acts in the context of ancient rhetorical
criticism as practiced in the Hellenistic world. Parsons first
compares Luke's storytelling with narrative techniques of ancient
rhetoric. He next compares Luke's interpretation of Jewish sources
within the social conventions of Luke's day. Finally, Parsons
profiles Luke's specific evangelistic theological artistry, one in
which Luke creatively uses Isaiah to call for the conversion of the
Gentiles. The depth and breadth of Parson's chapters root Luke's
narrative strategy, interpretive moves, and theological imagination
in the pagan, Jewish, and Christian contexts of the period.
