Luke The Historian In The Light Of Research

Luke the Historian in the Light of Research is a clear-eyed, forensic appraisal of the Gospel of Luke and Acts from a formative voice in New Testament study. It argues with forensic clarity. A. T.

The prose is brisk yet careful; the method exemplifies comparative gospel studies without losing sight of pastoral import.
