This new student textbook succinctly analyses key issues of Lukan studies today. The focus is primarily on Luke's Gospel, though sometimes the evidence of Acts is relevant too. Tuckett asks, What are Luke's own ideas and how have they influenced his narrative of the gospel events? Key topics are Luke's eschatology, his attitude to Jews, Gentiles and Judaism, Christology, and the question of poverty and possessions. In a final chapter Tuckett offers some hermeneutical reflections.
