The Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38)
Against Its Historical Background provides a comprehensive survey
of the use of the shepherd-flock motif in the ancient world for the
readers of the New Testament. This review of Ancient Near Eastern,
Jewish, Greco-Roman, and Christian sources is guided by a motific
approach that integrates the concept of metaphor, Semantics, and
the comparative method. A chief concern of this study is to apply
this knowledge to the study of Luke-Acts, especially the Miletus
Discourse (Acts 20:17-38). The shepherd-flock motif appears to be
central in this speech and helps to integrate other motifs and
themes in this discourse, such as the kingship motif. The
Shepherd-Flock Motif in the Miletus Discourse (Acts 20:17-38)
Against Its Historical Background is indispensable to the study of
motifs in the New Testament and contributes meaningfully to the
scholarly research on Luke-Acts.
