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.

"The coverage is fresh, competent, and up-to-date; it is based on the modern view of Luke as `the theologian' who has contributed more material, measured in sheer words, than any other New Testament writer." Sean P. Kealy, C.S.Sp.,The Catholic Biblical Quarterly
