Reading Luke

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Frank Dicken makes the world of Lukan studies accessible through this slim volume. He writes as though conducting a personable conversation, striking the friendly tone of mentor as he makes clear important features of Luke's text and elucidates long-standing debates in Lukan studies. The questions for reflection deftly draw the reader further into dialogue. In this generous and thoughtful work, Dicken offers us an excellent resource for biblical studies teaching and Bible study alike.”

Vivid Rhetoric and Visual Persuasion

“From its indispensable overview of the history of scholarship on vivid rhetoric and ekphrasis in the New Testament, to deep dives into the affective, sensory textual experiences of particular early Christian passages, Vivid Rhetoric and Visual Persuasion provides an essential companion for all who seek to understand the early Christian literary world. By curating a collection of essays from leading scholars expert in both vivid visual rhetorical techniques and the Christian sources they explore, Henning and Neumann have provided a true gift to help readers navigate what is now an unquestionably core element of New Testament study.”
