Conflict in Luke

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Kingsbury follows procedures established long ago by Horace and other ancient critics for examination of a work in terms of the author's purposeful structuring of themes and narrative material. In the process, he makes a distinctive contribution through his exploration of conflict as an inviting port of entry into Luke's literary miracle.”

Ephesians

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Hoehner's Ephesians not only cites the best advice and information in standard works on this letter but also carefully sifts the evidence and offers judicious conclusions. All other commentaries can be put in storage for retrieval as needed.”

Good News to the Poor

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jesus had much to say about possessions and their use, but what bearing do His words have on our real world? Dr. Pilgrim probes St. Luke's endeavor to answer that question and at the same time alerts today's Christians to a fresh vision of intelligent discipleship in caring community.”

Rethinking the Unity of Luke and Acts

“If the history of scholarship proves one thing, it is certainly this, that reiteration of a conclusion does not necessarily establish its validity. Is Acts the sequel of the Gospel of Luke? Many have answered affirmatively, and some without even bothering to ask the question. Professors Parsons and Pervo argue that the two works are independent narratives, each telling the story differently. In the course of their challenge of alleged generic continuity, the authors focus on the early writer's Christology as a fruitful clue to the unity, not of Luke-Acts, but of Luke and Acts.”

The Narrative Unity of Luke-Acts

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Tannehill's main objective...is to show how narrative parts contribute to the impact of Luke's literary whole...His study shows how [Luke's use of recurring words, patterns of repetition and contrast, irony, pathos, and many other features of his narrative] contribute to the total fabric of Luke's masterpiece.”

The Psalms through Three Thousand Years

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In a serious work studded with human interest stories, Professor Holladay shows how the Psalms can be pitched to a modern key without losing the freshness of the first song...Read this work and you will make the Psalter your own prayer book.”
