Rethinking the Acceptable Year

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Chris Luthy presents a rigorous and sound critique of the quite widespread assumption that Luke makes a number of Jubilee allusions throughout Luke-Acts, particularly in the programmatic Luke 4:18–22. He argues, correctly in my opinion, that Luke’s gentile audience was highly unlikely to pick up such subtle allusions. Linking these passages to the kingdom of God has far greater explanatory power. This is an important work which I highly commend.”
