This highly original commentary, part of the New International Commentary, is unique for the way it combines concerns with first-century culture in the Roman world with understanding the text of Luke as a wholistic, historical narrative.

The Death of Jesus in Early Christianity
(The centrality of the death of Jesus for the Christian fa...)
The centrality of the death of Jesus for the Christian faith can hardly be overstated, and interest in the subject is "red hot." As each generation of Christians comes to terms with its historical claims, and its theological import, it is only natural that its implications merit reexamination. Taking a studied look at the death of Jesusfrom the Old Testament's perspective to that of the Gospels and Hebrews to that of extracanonical accountsCarroll and Green put us in their debt for their comprehensive survey of the effects and implications of a central tenet of Christianity.

The Theology of the Gospel of Luke (New Testament Theology)
(The Gospel of Luke, often mined for information about the...)
The Gospel of Luke, often mined for information about the life of Jesus, is also one of the earliest Christian examples of narrative theology. Luke goes to great lengths to ground the work of Jesus in the continuing story of God's redemptive plan, and his emphasis on the ongoing character of that story challenges his audience to discern the purpose of God and order their lives around it. This exploration of the way in which he accomplishes his theological task in the first century is both informative and illuminating for contemporary readers.
