The Theology of the Gospel of Luke

Written by Joel B. GreenReviewed By Alistair I. Wilson

These volumes are three notable contributions to CUP’s ‘New Testament Theology’ series; a series which is now well-established, well-received and nearly complete. These are reprints of the original publications and contain no new material, but their very nature as engagement with the biblical text means that they have not dated significantly. Both Green and Dunn wrote their volumes effectively as theological introductions to their commentaries on Luke and Galatians respectively and these books provide an accessible entrance to both the thought of the biblical writer and the general perspectives of the commentator. Bauckham’s volume has virtually become a modern classic, in which he draws theological riches from this document which is alien to so many modern readers in such a way that the reader is both informed and awed by the grandeur of the seer’s vision. No theological student (or pastor or teacher of theology) should be without it. It is good to have the opportunity to commend these volumes to those who have not yet discovered them.
