Reading Luke-Acts in its Mediterranean Milieu
Series: - Novum Testamentum, Supplements, Volume: 107
Author:
This volume pulls together thirteen essays written by the author since the late 1970's which give a distinctive, coherent reading of Luke-Acts. Twelve of the essays focus on the theological perspectives of Luke and Acts as they can be discerned from the angle of vision of the "authorial audience" as delineated by the non-biblical literary critic, Peter J. Rabinowitz. The final essay focuses on the possible historical value of Acts and the methodology involved in judging that possibility.
Charles H. Talbert, Ph.D. (1963) in Biblical Studies, Vanderbilt University, is Distinguished Professor of Religion at Baylor University. He has published extensively on Luke and Acts including
Reading Acts (Smyth & Helwys, 1997) and
Reading Luke (Smyth & Helwys, 2002).
All those interested in Luke-Acts as a participant in the Mediterranean culture of its time and in its usefulness for modern reconstruction of early Christian history.
