Abstract:

This article argues that Irenaeus and the author of the Muratorian Fragment each read Luke and Acts as two elements of one literary whole, but that Irenaeus's understanding of what this literary unity entails appears to have been different from that of many modern scholarly readings of Luke—Acts. It also argues that there is reason to believe that Luke intended his two volumes to circulate together, and offers hermeneutical reflections on the fact that they have not always been read in this way. Two different approaches to the reception of Luke and Acts are identified and the merits of each are discussed.

Abstract:

In his gospel, Luke is caught up in the power of metaphor, in Jesus’ assertions that the kingdom of heaven is here. In Acts, on the other side of Jesus’ ascension, Luke is left with here where the kingdom of heaven just was. If the miracles of Acts suggests that the kingdom of heaven keeps popping out again, what Luke narrates in Acts is his discovery/rediscovery of this kingdom, outside of metaphor, fact by fact. Acts makes meaning for us as we begin to see how we might connect what is right in front of us to the kingdom of God.

Abstract:

Abstract Interpreters commonly connect Luke 4:18–19 and Acts 2:17–21 as programmatic passages in Luke-Acts. However, the program of Acts 2:17–21 they typically develop is less than what Luke actually presents. Luke’s program includes five elements that speak loudly throughout Luke-Acts: (1) a distinct salvation history; (2) a new deluge of the Spirit; (3) a new universality of prophecy; (4) a new diversity of spiritual gifts; and (5) a new promise of salvation in Jesus’s name. Each of these needs to speak if Luke’s narrative intentions are to be heard. The study wrestles first with the intricate craftsmanship of the author as narrator in setting up Acts 2:17–21 and then explores the five elements of the theological program of the passage. Though not developed fully, this program is also seen as encompassing the whole church age and the entire NT.

Abstract:

It has long been almost taken for granted that Luke-Acts is a historical work. Recently, however, C. H. Talbert has argued that Luke-Acts is biography rather than history, thereby re-opening the question of the genre of Luke-Acts. In what follows I will discuss one feature of Luke-Acts which does not support the contention that it is biography. I will argue that the preface of Luke-Acts resembles the prefaces of histories more than those of biographies or any other ancient prose writings. And I will further attempt to specify what historical prefaces it most resembles, and thus what sort of historian, on the evidence of the preface, the author of Luke-Acts was Comparison of prefaces cannot by itself settle the question of the genre of Luke-Acts, but it may make an important contribution. It is often true (and certainly true in the case of Luke-Acts) that the author speaks most directly in his preface. Because of this the preface may provide the best indication of the writer's own understanding of what he is doing, which is an important consideration in addressing the question of genre.

Abstract:

Recent scholarship has discussed Luke's view of the Spirit in relation to conversion-initiation, the life of the early church, and the requirements of mission. This emphasis upon the functionality of the Spirit has associated the Spirit with the beginning of the church and its requirements. Accepting that Luke deploys a view of the Spirit as the 'Spirit of prophecy', research illustrates disagreement about the functions Luke ascribes to the Spirit. This dissertation supplements and challenges this balance in two ways. It shows that the Jewish background for Luke's view of the Spirit is more variegated than the rubric 'the Spirit of prophecy' would suggest. It supplements the consensus view that Luke's eschatological framework for the bestowal of the Spirit is essentially about the beginning of the church, arguing that Luke also presents the bestowal of the Spirit in relation to the 'last days' and closure of a Jewish age.

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how understandings of history in diverse texts of the Graeco-Roman period illuminate Lukan eschatology. Two strands of Lukan scholarship have contributed to an enduring tendency to underestimate the centrality of eschatology to Luke/Acts. Hans Conzelmann's thesis, that Luke focused on history rather than eschatology as a response to the parousia's delay, has dominated Lukan scholarship since the mid-twentieth century, with concomitant assumptions about Luke's politics and understanding of suffering. Recent Lukan scholarship has centred instead on genre and rhetoric, examining Luke/Acts predominantly in relation to ancient texts deemed the same genre while overlooking themes (including those of an eschatological character) that these texts do not share. This thesis offers a fresh approach. It illuminates the inherent connections between Luke's understanding of history and its end, and demonstrates significant ways in which Luke's eschatological consciousness shapes key themes of his account. By extending comparisons to a wider range of texts, this study overcomes two clear methodological shortfalls in current research: limiting comparisons of key themes to texts of similar genre, and separating non-Jewish from Jewish texts. Having established the need for a new examination of Luke's eschatology in Chapter 1, in Chapter 2 I set out the study's method of comparing diverse texts on themes that cut across genres. Chapters 3 to 6 then consider each key text and Luke/Acts in relation to a different aspect of their writers' conceptions of history: the direction and shape of history; determinism and divine guidance; human culpability and freedom; and the present and the end of history. The analysis shows that in every aspect of history examined, Luke/Acts shares significant features of the texts with which, because they do not share its genre, it is not normally compared. Setting Luke/Acts in conversation with a broader range of texts highlights Luke's periodised, teleological view of history and provides a nuanced picture of Luke's understanding of divine and human agency, all of which is affected in fundamental ways by his portrayal of the present time already within the final period of history. As a result, this study not only clarifies Lukan eschatology, but reaffirms the importance of eschatology for Lukan politics and theodicy.
