The Gospel according to Luke (The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC))

The Gospel according to Luke (The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC))

In keeping with the Pillar New Testament Commentaryâ€™s distinctive character, this volume by James R. Edwards on Luke gives special attention to the Third Gospelâ€™s vocabulary and historical setting, its narrative purpose and unique themes, and its theological significance for the church and believers today.

Though Luke is often thought to have a primarily Gentile focus, Edwards counterbalances that perspective by citing numerous evidences of Lukeâ€™s overarching interest in depicting Jesus as the fulfillment of Godâ€™s providential work in the history of Israel, and he even considers the possibility that Luke himself was a Jew. In several excursuses Edwards discusses particular topics, including Lukeâ€™s infancy narratives, the mission of Jesus as the way of salvation, and Lukeâ€™s depiction of the universal scope of the gospel.

While fully conversant with all the latest scholarship, Edwards writes in a lively, fluent style that will commend this commentary to ministers, students, scholars, and many other serious Bible readers.
