Publisher's Description
Kings, Deliverers, and Prophets brings a new biblical perspective to the much-debated question of the meaning of Luke's journey narrative. Dennis W. Chadwick identifies and documents three extended sequences of Old Testament echoes in Luke 9-19 by which Luke confirms that Jesus is the eschatological king, the eschatological deliverer, and the eschatological prophet.
Endorsements (2)
“This is a very well organized and written study, intended to be broadly accessible—no mean goal with such a complex topic. The work is cleverly conceived and offers an intriguing and original thesis.”
“Various commentators . . . recognize abundant allusions in Luke’s travel narrative to Deuteronomy, Samuel, and Kings, sometimes sequentially. Few agree on the exact nature, extent, or significance of these structures. . . . Chadwick assembles as full a collection of possible parallels as any to support Luke’s portrait of Jesus as a new and greater Moses, David, and Elijah/Elisha. Very tantalizing.”
