Luke’s use of the Old Testament in Luke 22-23
Get PDFWhile Luke understands Jesus' suffering and death as the fulfillment of OT prophecy, he does not use many OT quotations or allusions to express this fact in his passion narrative. The question arises: How does Luke use the OT in his passion narrative, especially to show prophetic fulfillment?This study seeks to answer this question through an identification and analysis of the OT quotations, allusions, ideas, and stylistic elements in Luke 22-23. The criteria for identification and critical analysis are gathered from studying the history of scholarship on the subject from the Reformation to 1972.Our findings are that Luke presents the fulfillment of the key OT prophecy in his passion narrative, Is. 53:12/Lk. 22:37, through a thematic development of various aspects of its message. Other OT quotes, allusions, ideas, and stylistic elements contribute to the development of this theme. Luke's approach to the OT is Christocentric both in the sense that all the quotations and most of the allusions occur in the reported words of Jesus, and in the sense that most of Luke's OT material refers to the OT promises of a suffering and glorified Messiah. OT ideas also occur mainly in the reported words of Jesus and the OT stylistic elements are best understood as examples of LXX style imitation. We found that Luke's lack of allusions and quotations was probably due to his desire to have his readers relive the fulfillment events of the Passion as they unfold in the narrative without being distracted by editorial fulfillment proof~texts. Yet, at the same time Luke, the Christian theologian to the Gentiles, did make extensive use of the OT. With a Christocentric interpretational approach to understanding OT prophecy and theological content within a salvation history framework, Luke shows how the OT was important to Gentile Christians
King and ruler takes his stand: ‘Herod’ as a composite character in Luke-Acts
Get PDFUsing a narrative-critical approach, this thesis argues that ‘Herod’ may be
construed as a composite character in Luke-Acts. Composite characters appear in
literary works as a conflation of two or more historic individuals into a single
character in a narrative. Scholars have often noted that Luke-Acts evidences a more
extensive interest in the Herodian rulers than do the gospels of Mark and Matthew
and that each of these rulers are depicted similarly to the others in his work.
However, no one has argued that those rulers named ‘Herod’ may be understood as a composite character.
In Luke-Acts, three Herodian rulers stand behind the composite ‘Herod’. The
thesis will show that when compared/contrasted with what is known about the
Herodian rulers from historical evidence, two unique features of the depiction of the
Herodian rulers named Herod in Luke-Acts emerge. First, at Luke 1:5 the author uses
the title ‘King of Judaea’ which is unattested elsewhere for any Herodian ruler.
Second, at Acts 12 the author uses the name ‘Herod’ for Agrippa I, a name that finds
no external corroboration for this particular King. While other occurrences of the
name ‘Herod’ refer to Herod Antipas (Luke 3—Acts 4), these two distinct features of
the narrative may be understood as conflation of the other ‘Herods’ with Antipas.
Following an interpretation of all the passages in which ‘Herod’ appears, it will be
evident that ‘Herod’ is portrayed consistently and as a single character not only
through repeated use of the name ‘Herod’, but as a recurring antagonist to the key
protagonists of the narrative (John the Baptist, Jesus, and the apostles/early church).
Finally, the thesis will consider as explanation of the depiction of ‘Herod’ how this
composite character embodies Satanic opposition from the political realm toward
those who proclaim the gospel in the Lukan narrative

The voice of Jesus in six parables and their interpreters
Get PDF'Figures of speech' provide a suggestive key for approaching the question of Jesus' individual tone of voice. Apprehending a figure implies insight into an intention, and beyond intention to discern unconscious influences upon the speaker. This is the conceptual framework for a study of the 'voice of Jesus' in six parables peculiar to Luke (10:25-37; 15:11-32; 16:1-9; 16:19-31; 18:1-8; 18:9-14) and in commentaries upon them. In the premodern era commentators approached the parables with an immediacy of insight, seeking the divine intention behind the texts. Nevertheless we may hear the voice of Jesus echoing in their commentaries in morally specific tones. In the work of Jülicher 'insight', though repudiated, is still important, as he seeks the intention of Jesus through the figure of simile. Jülicher offers insight into Jesus as a passionate communicator, but goes beyond Jesus' intention in making him a propounder of generalities. More recently a concern with the intention of Jesus is replaced by a concern with how his voice was heard. The necessity of insight remains apparent in B.B. Scott's use of metaphor as an interpretative key. An impression is given of Jesus as a provocative subversive. In their context in Luke-Acts, the parables function as metonymies of the gospel, and yield an impression of the voice of Jesus as suggestively concerned with the life of this world. In the ministry of Jesus the parables function as synecdoches, offering hearers a realistic and hopeful 'part' of the world from which they must fashion a 'whole’. Against the background of Scripture the parables display a deep continuity with older forms of discourse, but also important tokens of newness. A stream of influence can be traced from the Old Testament, through Jesus and Luke, and on through their interpreters, though recently its course has been somewhat diverted

None greater than John : towards a social-description and narrative-theological study of John the Baptist in Luke-Acts.
Get PDFThesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2007."I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John" (Luke 7:28). Thus the author of Luke-Acts expresses his basic assessment of John the Baptist.
The present study aims to understand the role of John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts through a reading that combines social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to gain hermeneutical access to the subject of our investigation.
This study seeks to achieve this aim in two ways. In the first instance there is an attempt (through recourse to a combination of the stated critical methodologies) to provide a reading of Luke-Acts that interfaces social description and narrative-theological analysis in order to make possible a rhetorical engagement with the text in a way that provides hermeneutical access to John the Baptist as he is portrayed in Luke-Acts. In his portrayal of John the Baptist as a prophet and witness who plays a unique role in the history of salvation, the author of Luke-Acts weaves a spell over his readers that draws them into his narrative world and into his particular theological perspective.
In the second instance, this study also aims to show how Luke-Acts preserves a unique dynamic of John the Baptist which has rather been buried in the other Gospel traditions. Through this dynamic, Luke seeks to transmit his own ideal of the authentic prophet and witness in such a way that his audience may be moved to emulate John's example with conviction and imagination both in living out their Christian ideal as well as in proclaiming the good news
