Luke-Acts and Jewish Historiography

Beschreibung

In the past, the theology of Luke was often studied in connection with earlier Jewish beliefs, while the literary features of Luke-Acts were usually studied in light of ancient Hellenistic works. Samson Uytanlet shows that whether we are talking about Luke's theology or literature can be best understood in relation with earlier Jewish writings.
In this book, Samson Uytanlet states his observation that there is an unnecessary disjunction between Luke's theology and literature in previous studies on Luke-Acts: Luke's theology is typically studied in light of Jewish writings while Luke's literature is studied in relation with Greco-Roman works. The author shows that there are theological, literary, and ideological elements that ancient Greco-Roman and Jewish writings share which are also present in Luke's work. In areas where they diverge, however, Luke-Acts shows closer affinity to Jewish writings.
