Interweaving Innocence

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“With careful analysis and clear prose Gorman provides a new lens for exploring some of the most oft-debated features of Luke's passion narrative. Highlighting practices from classical rhetoric, Gorman makes a compelling case for Luke's careful shaping of Mark to reinforce his emphasis on Jesus's political innocence. In this way, Gorman firmly establishes Jesus's innocence as a primary theme in Luke's account, one that stands as a model for Jesus's disciples in Acts and beyond.”
