Mark A. Matson

Interweaving Innocence

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“In Interweaving Innocence, Dr. Gorman brings a fresh look at Luke's passion narrative. She helpfully moves the discussion on the formation and shape of Luke's passion narrative beyond simple source critical solutions. Employing a sophisticated knowledge of ancient rhetorical practices, the well-argued thesis is that Luke's rhetorical-composition technique adequately explains significant variations from Mark's account without recourse to a non-canonical source. This is a must-read for Lukan scholars.”

Luke

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“Parsons's Paidea commentary on Luke adds to the growing appreciation of the literary and rhetorical environment in which the Gospels were written. Working with a rich understanding of ancient literature and rhetorical education, Parsons leads the modern interpreter to a richer appreciation for the context of this Gospel. This will certainly be an important volume for readers of both Luke and the Gospels in general.”
