| Summary: | In Luke-Acts, God's kingdom emerges verbally for the first time when Jesus also is initially named: in the Gospel's scene of the Annunciation. Luke's second volume or Acts begins and ends with rare references to God's kingdom and again in relation to Jesus. These consistent and conspicuous features indicate that the relationship of the kingdom and Jesus was in the forefront of Luke's intentions for his two-volume work. The thesis of this book is that Luke understood the relationship of the kingdom and Jesus to be necessary, complex, and dynamic, and that he viewed this relationship as shaped by Jesus' double identity ad the heir to David's throne (Christ) and as the uniquely holy and powerful Son of God (Lord). |
