THE SAVING CROSS OF THE SUFFERING CHRIST - BENJ...

What is the place of the cross in the thought of the third evangelist? This book seeks to show
the central significance of the death of Jesus for Luke's understanding of (1) how salvation is
accomplished and (2) what it means for Jesus to be the messiah. Whereas previous authors have
helpfully attended to individual motifs within Luke's account of the passion  this book takes
more of a wide-angle approach to the topic  moving from the very first allusions to Jesus'
rejection at the beginning of Luke's gospel all the way through to the retrospective references
to Jesus' death that occur throughout the speeches of Acts. By focusing on the
inter-relationship of the various parts that form the whole of the Lukan portrayal of Jesus'
death  Wilson proposes fresh solutions to several of the intractable exegetical disputes
related to the place of the cross in Lukan theology  thereby helping to situate Lukan
soteriology within the broader context of Jewish and Christian belief and practice in the first
century.
