Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Since his groundbreaking Departure of Jesus in Luke-Acts in 1987, Mikeal Parsons has been a leading voice in Lukan studies, and this outstanding Paideia commentary marks his latest important contribution to the field. Rich with illustrations and informative sidebars, this text not only explores the first-century literary, rhetorical, historical, cultural, and theological contexts of the Lukan narrative but also carefully interprets the final form of Luke section by section and distills critical theological issues raised by the Lukan text. No one is better suited than Parsons for the task of creating such a multifaceted commentary on the Gospel of Luke, and he delivers an innovative and helpful work--brilliant yet succinct and accessible.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“Tormented in Hades is a sophisticated socio-narratological exploration of Luke's lover of money parables, with a particular focus on the rich man and Lazarus parable. A significant contribution to our understanding of Luke's characterization of the repentant and unrepentant rich, this book details Luke's coherent rhetorical strategy that challenges the wealthy to repent: the rich either choose to fulfill their obligations to help the poor or remain recalcitrant idolaters. Both choices have eternal consequences.”
