This collection of essays by Joel B. Green draws together studies on Luke's theology over a
thirty-year period - from the early days when many scholars questioned whether one might refer
to Luke as a theologian to contemporary studies pursuing a variety of approaches to discerning
Luke's message. These essays contribute to our understanding of the theological and narrative
unity of Luke-Acts by pursuing a variety of topics (e.g. salvation wealth and poverty
baptism resurrection and conversion) and more focused examinations of selected Lukan texts
such as the birth narrative Jesus's crucifixion Jesus's ascension the Pentecost episode and
the stories of Cornelius and Lydia.
