"Ian Hussey has composed a remarkable volume on the theme of 'call'
in the theologies of Luke and Paul, noting above all the relative
parity of their positions, but also stressing the importance of
call in a doctrine of salvation. Hussey makes a robust contribution
to debates about the congruence, or lack thereof, between Luke and
Paul and demonstrates how the theme of a call relates to wider
biblical ideas connected to election, covenant, kingdom, hope,
transformation, ethics, and community. An important work that fills
in a gap in most theologies of salvation."
--Michael F. Bird, Melbourne, Australia
"In this insightful and engaging study, Ian Hussey shows that καλέω
is a significant soteriological concept for both Luke and Paul. By
focusing on this overlooked dimension of their respective
soteriologies, Hussey not only deepens our understanding of Luke
and Paul's views about salvation but also shows how much they have
in common. This study is highly recommended as a window onto
wide-ranging and important themes within the theology of the New
Testament."
--Paul Trebilco, University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand
