The Shape of Luke's Story (Paperback)

In this important collection of essays, Tannehill demonstrates why he has been in the forefront of Luke-Acts research for more than three decades. His nuanced approach to the intersection of literary, theological, and social features in the texts marks these as required reading for any interpreter of the gospels.
