By What Authority?

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Jerome Neyrey has once again produced a volume that stands on its own as a primer on social scientific and rhetorical approaches to the text that is worth imitating. In this erudite assessment of Luke’s mastery of rhetoric, Neyrey discloses how the Evangelist convincingly construes Jesus as a properly socialized and culturally ascribed authoritative public speaker deserving attention. By What Authority? is an insightful and eye-opening contribution to Lukan scholarship by a master exegete.”
