''The contributors represent varying outlooks in New Testament study so that the book offers a continuation of the current debate rather than a set of agreed conclusions. The editors of this symposium deserve our thanks for bringing together this series of useful essays which no student of the social teaching in the New Testament and of Luke’s writings in particular ought to miss.'' --I. Howard Marshall, Professor of New Testament Exegesis, University of Aberdeen''Various phases of Luke’s challenge (to the powers of his day) are discussed in some detail by the contributors to this symposium; and, in consequence, much light is thrown on Luke’s purpose in writing. I am happy to commend this new volume of studies to the serious attention of students and teachers of the New Testament and early Christian history.''--F. F. Bruce, Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis, University of Manchester''These lively, provocative, and well-informed essays center around the thesis of Dr. Richard J. Cassidy in his Jesus, Politics, and Society, in which he challenges the notion that Luke-Acts was written as a political apologetic. The result is a stimulating debate, as though one were participating in a discussion, at once learned and relevant, on the exegetical issue of Lukan redaction, and of course, on the moral question of Jesus’ attitude toward civil authority.''-Howard Clark Kee, William Goodwin Aurelio Professor of Biblical Studies, Boston University''Here we have ten studies which sharply probe aspects of the political Luke and/or Luke’s political Jesus, including a study by Cassidy himself as well as studies which take him to task on various counts. All told, Political Issues in Luke-Acts is an extremely valuable showcase of the most current research in Luke-Acts and its societal concerns.''--Edward C. Hobbs, Professor of Religion, Wellesley College, Visiting Professor of New Testament, Harvard UniversityRichard J.
