Rumors of Resistance

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Amanda C. Miller resists the tendency to view a complex work like the Gospel of Luke through a single interpretive lens, to answer a simplistic question like whether the author was pro-Roman or anti-Roman. Instead, she applies an array of methodological tools to discover a complex story of Jesus in the third gospel, written for a diverse community, challenging all members to act more justly in a dangerous context." —Mark McEntire Belmont University "In Rumors of Resistance, Dr. Amanda C. Miller brings together thorough and current scholarship with a passion for the church that lives in the world around it with an eye for how to shape itself from the inside out, from the bottom up, and from a deep understanding of the witness of the Lukan voice. By joining models from other disciplines with a deep look at the clarity of the text under the text, Miller demonstrates the willingness to stand in the tension to hear more than one level of communication from the biblical text. Scholarly readers as well as students of the Bible will find this lively voice and integrative study helpful in hearing ancient voices today.”
