PAIDEIA: Luke

Mikeal Parsons, a leading scholar on Luke and Acts, offers a practical
commentary on Luke that is conversant with contemporary scholarship, draws on
ancient backgrounds, and attends to the theological nature of the texts. This
commentary, like each in the Paideia series, proceeds by sense units rather
than word-by-word or verse-by-verse. Students, pastors, and other readers will
appreciate the historical, literary, and theological insight Parsons provides
in interpreting the Gospel of Luke.
Since his groundbreaking Departure of Jesus in Luke-Acts in 1987, Mikeal " Parsons has been a leading voice in Lukan studies, and this outstanding Paideia
commentary marks his latest important contribution to the field. Rich with
illustrations and informative sidebars, this text not only explores the
first-century literary, rhetorical, historical, cultural, and theological
contexts of the Lukan narrative but also carefully interprets the final form of
Luke section by section and distills critical theological issues raised by the
Lukan text. No one is better suited than Parsons for the task of creating such
a multifaceted commentary on the Gospel of Luke, and he delivers an innovative
and helpful work--brilliant yet succinct and accessible. - David B. Gowler"
