How did the author of the Gospel of Luke intend it to be read? In
The Spiral Gospel, Rob James shows that the assumptions many modern
readers bring to the text - that it claims to be historically
factual, or merely regurgitates existing stories - are not those of
antiquity. Building on the central insight that it was written for
a community who would have used it as their pre-eminent text, James
argues convincingly for a continuous, cyclical reading of Luke's
narrative. The evidence for this view, and also its consequences,
can be seen in the gospel's intratextuality. Context is given at
the end of the gospel that informs the beginning, and there are
countless other intratextual elements throughout the text that are
most readily noticeable on a second or subsequent reading. This
deliberate, creative interweaving on the author's part opens up new
levels of appreciation and faith for those who read in the way
Luke's first audience received his work.
