Luke to Theo, Again

Beschreibung

Luke presents Christianity's growth as explosive. His is the story of its far-reaching spread "to the ends of the earth". If Luke were able to name his work (and it seems he never did), he would describe it as The Acts of God, or better still, the Acts of the Holy Spirit. Luke to Theo, Again continues the author's journey into the Graeco-Roman-Hebraic world of the first century. With Peter and Paul as the protagonists of the Jesus Movement, Luke's sweeping panorama, with over 80 characters, moves from Jerusalem, across Asia and into Europe. The author continues the practice of using box texts to illuminate various points in his commentary of Luke's text. Clear biographical, literary, historical, and geographical data is presented in easy-to-follow list and dictionary formats, as well as more detailed background mini essays on the beginnings and spread of Christianity.

Autor

Clifford Samuel has a keen interest in history, literature and Religion Studies. He is particularly interested in the Hellenistic and Hebraic world of the first century, and has found the study of Luke a fascinating entry point into this period. Luke to Theo, Again, continues the work he began with Luke's gospel, as Luke moves into the wider Hellenistic world. Clifford lives in Melbourne, Australia and is able to indulge hobbies to do with film, theatre, reading detective fiction, book clubs and swimming. Travel, especially to Italy, is a highlight and gives him the chance to practise, albeit at a very basic level, the Italian lessons he tries so hard to remember.
