"Joseph Lear has made an indelible contribution to Lukan studies.
He traces Lukan eschatology and ethics not as parallel motifs, but
as part of an intricate literary web. Lear weaves together an array
of Lukan motifs such as shared possessions, community formation,
miracles and resurrection, and the kingdom of God to produce an
impressive, delightful, and timely read."
-- Martin Mittelstadt, Professor, Evangel University
"Joseph Lear gives a non-reductionistic answer in this literary and
theological study of Luke-Acts by consistently highlighting the
Lukan emphasis on eschatology and ethics and their relationship. In
close critical dialogue with previous scholarship Lear underscores
the narrative progression of Luke's double work and successfully
uses John the Baptist's proclamation as a criterion for choosing
the key passages treated."
-- Tomas Bokedal, School of Divinity, King's College, University of
Aberdeen
